Last week, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to rest India skipper Virat Kohli while handing over the captaincy to Rohit Sharma for the Asia Cup.

Meanwhile, chairman of selectors MSK Prasad assured that his chance will come sooner than later.

"Mayank Agarwal has been fantastic and has been consistent in the last 10-12 months. He is just a step away and I am sure in due course of time he will get his recognition," he said.

"And he did well In all three formats in whatever opportunities he has got in domestic cricket. We will definitely look at it when we rest some of the senior players," Prasad assured.

In the 16-member squad announced, Rajasthan left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed got his maiden senior team call-up. 

Khaleel, a 20-year-old from Rajasthan's Tonk has played 17 List A matches, taking 28 wickets at an economy rate of 4.74.
