The Indian cricket calendar is entering a busy phase, and the selectors have plenty of decisions to make in the months ahead. Several players who have been on the fringes are pushing hard for a return to the national side.

The Duleep Trophy 2026 is shaping up as a key audition ground for many of these cricketers. Here is a look at five Indian players who could earn a recall in the near future.

Abhimanyu Easwaran is widely regarded as one of the unluckiest cricketers in recent Indian cricket history. He spent a long time with the Indian squad without receiving his maiden Test cap, and he has since lost his place in the setup across the last few series. A strong showing in the Duleep Trophy 2026 could put him firmly back in contention for a recall. Easwaran has the experience and the technique to succeed at the highest level, and a consistent run of scores in the domestic four-day format would be difficult for the selectors to overlook.
