3 Ranji Trophy 2025–26 bowlers selectors should consider for IND vs AFG Test
India take on Afghanistan in a one-off Test starting June 6.
1) Saransh Jain - Madhya Pradesh
The Madhya Pradesh all-rounder has been prolific with both bat and ball in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season. With 30 wickets in seven matches, he finished as the former champions’ second-highest wicket taker in the season. An off-spinner with a high-arm release, capable of bowling with flight and dip, he has picked up over 50 wickets in the last two years of the Ranji Trophy.
What makes Saransh Jain an even more attractive option is his batting. He scored 518 runs at an average of 57.55 and a strike rate of over 58.53. He was the Player of the Series in the 2025 Duleep Trophy, finishing with 16 wickets in Central Zone’s victorious campaign. As someone who has represented India A before, Saransh has been familiar with higher levels of cricket and would be a frontrunner for a spot if the regulars are rested.
