Dhir, who was initially picked for the Australia A one-dayers, smashed a chart-topping 655 runs in ten games at a strike rate of 217.61 and a best of 173 Sher-E-Punjab T20 league. With Shreyas Iyer leading the T20I side in the Asian Games, Dhir has been picked for a middle-order role, as has Ruturaj Gaikwad. Dhruv Jurel has also been included as a back-up wicketkeeper to KL Rahul.
Nabi has been part of India’s ODI and Test squads previously but is yet to make his international debut. He is part of a seam attack that includes Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Gurnoor Brar, apart from Reddy.
