3 Test bowlers who can be given a chance in ODIs

India's ODI setup is gradually taking shape ahead of the 2027 World Cup, and selectors have been keeping a close eye on performers across formats. Several Test specialists have made strong cases for themselves through consistent domestic and international outings.

The three bowlers discussed here have each shown qualities that translate well to the 50-over format. Their List A records, recent Test performances and specific bowling skills make them worth considering for an ODI opportunity in the near future.

Here are three Test bowlers who can be given a chance in ODIs:

1. Manav Suthar

Manav Suthar is a 24-year-old slow left-arm orthodox spinner from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, who represents Rajasthan in domestic cricket and Gujarat Titans in the IPL. He made his Test debut on June 6, 2026 against Afghanistan, taking six wickets in that match alone. In just three Tests, Suthar has claimed 23 wickets at a bowling average of 17.34, with a best of 6/33, two five-wicket hauls and one ten-wicket match.

He was India's leading wicket-taker in the Afghanistan Test, finishing with seven wickets across the match. In 25 List A games, he has taken 34 wickets at an economy of 4.41, which suggests he can control runs in the 50-over format. His left-arm spin, combined with lower-order batting ability, adds genuine all-round value to any side.
