Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young opener of Rajasthan Royals, has been rewarded for his brilliant performance in IPL 2023. Jaiswal has been added as a stand-by player in the Indian squad for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final. This claim has been made in the report of ESPNcricinfo, although the BCCI has not yet announced it officially.
Jaiswal can replace Gaikwad
It has been said in the report that Ruturaj Gaikwad is going to get married on June 3. Gaikwad has already informed the BCCI about his marriage and can join the team in England on June 5. If Gaikwad is unable to join the team, then Yashasvi Jaiswal will join the team in his place. The final match of the World Test Championship is to be played at The Oval from June 7 to 12 against India and Australia.
