Notably, BCCI are yet to announce India’s squad for the three-match ODI series against England, and some star performers from Vijay Hazare Trophy might get a berth in the national team. Mumbai skipper Prithvi Shaw, with over 800 runs in the season, will definitely be in the scheme of things. At the same time, Karnataka opener Devdutt Padikkal can also get a chance to don the navy blue jersey.
