The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a 15-member India A squad for the warm-up fixtures scheduled ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The selection underlines India’s intent to test its bench strength while allowing senior regulars a breather after a packed international calendar.

Ayush Badoni has been named captain of the side, a clear vote of confidence in the youngster’s leadership and temperament. The squad blends emerging talent with proven IPL performers, offering a competitive unit for the preparatory matches.

Riyan Parag and Tilak Varma both possess essential experience which helps to strengthen the middle order batting lineup. Ashutosh Sharma and Naman Dhir provide hard-hitting support while Priyansh Arya earns his spot based on his consistent domestic achievements. The team will divide wicketkeeping duties between Narayan Jagadeesan and Urvil Patel, which enables them to experiment with different player combinations.

Mayank Yadav boost strengthens India A attack ahead of USA warm-up clash

Mayank Yadav's return to the team after his lengthy injury recovery serves as the main topic of discussion. The express pacer who throws 150 kilometers per hour during IPL matches brings actual strength to the bowling group. The left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed and Gurjapneet Singh will join him to create a complete bowling attack.

The team has developed its base into a strong domain. The team depends on Ravi Bishnoi who leads their leg-spin bowling department by taking wickets through his performances while Manav Suthar and Vicky Nigam provide balance and control throughout the middle overs with their left-arm spin and all-rounder capabilities.

The Dr DY Patil Sports Academy will host the warm-up match between India and the USA which will start at 5 pm IST. India are the only side opting to field an ‘A’ team in the warm-ups, using the opportunity to assess depth and readiness ahead of the global event.

<![CDATA[Watch: “Got benefit of…”- Ayush Badoni opens up on India’s maiden call-up during New Zealand ODI series]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-got-benefit-of-ayush-badoni-opens-up-on-india-s-maiden-call-up-during-new-zealand-odi-series/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-got-benefit-of-ayush-badoni-opens-up-on-india-s-maiden-call-up-during-new-zealand-odi-series/ Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:11:23 GMT

The Delhi batter, Ayush Badoni, believes that taking the bowling for the last couple of years has proved to be a turning point in his career, as it helped him evolve into an all-rounder and earn his maiden call-up to the national side. Badoni was added to the three-match ODI series as a replacement for the injured Washington Sundar, who was ruled out due to an injury. 

The series is locked at 1-1, with the decider scheduled to be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Badoni didn’t feature in the playing XI for the second ODI, which the blue brigade lost at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Badoni hopes of getting a chance in the side during the third ODI decider at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

“I was with the Delhi team, I was captain there, and our next-day match was the quarter-finals against Vidarbha. That’s when I got to know about it. Priyansh was my roommate, so I told him that this could happen, and I’ll be going, so maybe you’ll be the captain. That was a great feeling, and I feel very grateful and happy that I got this opportunity.” Badoni expressed while speaking on his selection in a video on the BCCI.

Ayush Badoni reflects on India’s maiden call-up during New Zealand series

Badoni has smashed an overall 693 runs in 22 innings of the List-A cricket at an average of 36.47 and a strike rate of 93.27, with the help of five half-centuries and one century at the best score of 100.

See the video here: 

“I got a call late at night, so I couldn’t tell them. It was announced in the morning, that’s when they got to know, and they were also very happy and proud. All the coaches and the players were very welcoming to me, and I really liked it. I’ve played with and against most of them, so it was nice to meet everyone again.” Badoni addressed.

“Preparation was very clear. Earlier, I used to bat, but for the last two years, I’ve been focusing a lot on my bowling. I always feel that I can take wickets and contribute to the team with my bowling. So I got the benefit of being an all-rounder. I’ve bowled a lot for Delhi, taken wickets, and benefited from it.” The LSG batter shed light.

<![CDATA[Why did India select Ayush Badoni for IND vs NZ ODI series? India’s coach breaks silence]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/why-did-india-select-ayush-badoni-for-ind-vs-nz-odi-series-india-s-coach-breaks-silence/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/why-did-india-select-ayush-badoni-for-ind-vs-nz-odi-series-india-s-coach-breaks-silence/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 13:41:30 GMT

Ahead of the second ODI of the three-match series against New Zealand at the Niranjan Sah Stadium in Rajkot, the Indian side called Ayush Badoni as a cover-up for the injured spin all-rounder, Washington Sundar, who has been ruled out for the rest of the series and remains in doubt for the T20I leg, followed by the home T20 World Cup 2026. 

Eyebrows were raised on Badoni’s selection ahead of some of the other notable Indian players. However, India's batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, pointed to the Delhi youngster’s consistent performance for India A and in the Indian Premier League, which highlights his ability to contribute both with the bat and ball when needed.

“He has been playing, he has been performing, he has played some India A one-day, and he has performed, and particularly, obviously, it is selectors who pick the team, but for any common man, when Washington's out, you cannot, normally, no team would go with only five bowlers.Kotak expressed in the pre-match press conference.

Shitanshu Kotak highlights reason for Ayush Badoni’s selection in ODI series

Badoni has overall smashed 693 runs in 22 innings of List-A cricket at an average of 36.47 and a strike rate of 93.27 with the help of five fifties and one century besides contributing 18 wickets. The expectation is to get some overs from him if the situation occurs for the national side.

“Like say for example last game if we had only five bowlers and Washington got injured on fourth, fifth over, then who will bowl those overs, so every team would like to have a sixth bowling option, sometimes if it is an all-rounder like Washington then an equally good bowler, sometimes it might be a more of a batter who can bowl.Kotak addressed.

“If required, somebody should be able to bowl four, five, or three/four overs, whatever is needed. He has scored a couple of 50s for India A and can bowl. He has performed well in the IPL and white-ball cricket, so good luck to him.India’s batting coach shed light.

<![CDATA[3 reasons why Ayush Badoni replacing Washington Sundar for IND vs NZ 2026 ODIs is the wrong move]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-analysis/3-reasons-why-ayush-badoni-replacing-washington-sundar-for-ind-vs-nz-2026-odis-is-the-wrong-move/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-analysis/3-reasons-why-ayush-badoni-replacing-washington-sundar-for-ind-vs-nz-2026-odis-is-the-wrong-move/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 20:05:07 GMT

The Indian selection committee named Delhi cricketer Ayush Badoni as a replacement for the injured all-rounder Washington Sundar for the rest of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. Sundar suffered a side strain during the first ODI in Vadodara on Sunday, January 11, and bowled only five overs in the match. His injury raised concerns soon after the game.

Skipper Shubman Gill said in the post-match presentation that Sundar was taken for scans. Sundar also looked uncomfortable while batting, which suggested that he would miss the second and third ODIs. On Monday, January 12, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Sundar was ruled out of the series.

The BCCI then named Ayush Badoni as his replacement, which came as a surprise to many. While Badoni is a talented player, his selection has raised questions about team balance and experience. On that note, here are three reasons why Ayush Badoni replacing Washington Sundar for the IND vs NZ 2026 ODI series is the wrong move.

1. Completely different skill sets

Ayush Badoni, a right-handed batter who bowls part-time off-spin, does not match the skill set of Washington Sundar. The two players are very different in profile. Badoni is mainly a batting all-rounder, while Sundar is known more for his bowling and control in the middle overs. This makes the replacement a clear mismatch in roles.

Although Badoni’s bowling has improved, it is doubtful whether he can provide the same control and consistency as Sundar. Sundar’s ability to bowl tight lines, restrict batters, and use drift and bounce effectively adds a different dimension. Badoni, on the other hand, comes across as a more regular off-spinner without the same impact.

India have also used Sundar as a left-handed batter at No. 5 in recent ODIs, showing a clear plan. Badoni’s selection sends mixed signals, as he has mostly batted lower down the order in List A cricket due to senior players occupying middle-order spots. In T20 cricket as well, he has played a different role, often higher up the order.

2. There were much better and more suitable options

Badoni’s selection cannot be justified by a lack of alternatives. The selectors had several better and more suitable options who fit the team’s needs and long-term plans. Bringing in another similar type of player only adds to the confusion around team balance.

Players like Axar Patel, Shahbaz Ahmed, or even Tanush Kotian would have been more logical choices. Axar and Shahbaz were both in good form in the 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, bowled regularly, and are comfortable batting at No. 5 as left-handers.

Despite good performances, Axar Patel has missed the last two ODI series, while Shahbaz Ahmed was earlier picked as a replacement during the South Africa T20I series. This unclear selection pattern and lack of a fixed order are not helping Team India.

3. Ayush Badoni’s recent form is not convincing

If Badoni had been in outstanding form, the selectors’ decision might have been easier to understand. However, his recent performances do not suggest that he was an automatic choice for the Indian ODI side ahead of more experienced players.

He ended 2025 with a decent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 206 runs in seven innings at an average of 29.42 and a strike rate of 135.52. However, his 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign has been disappointing, with only 16 runs in three innings, and he did not bat in two of his last five List A matches.

His recent dismissals have come against wrist spinners, similar to the kind of bowlers he could face against New Zealand. This further raises doubts about his readiness for the ODI level at this stage.

<![CDATA[BCCI named shocking replacement in place of Washington Sundar for IND vs NZ ODI series]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/bcci-named-shocking-replacement-in-place-of-washington-sundar-for-ind-vs-nz-odi-series/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/bcci-named-shocking-replacement-in-place-of-washington-sundar-for-ind-vs-nz-odi-series/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:34:04 GMT

In a shocking move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named a replacement for the injured spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar. Sundar, who was in the India vs. New Zealand 1st ODI in Vadodara, was knocked out of the match as well as the series after delivering 5 overs in the first innings. So, the board named a replacement for the remaining two ODIs against New Zealand. 

There were multiple contenders in discussion to fill up the spot left by Sundar. But BCCI selected Ayush Badoni for the spot, which came as a surprise for many cricket fans. The board confirmed the replacement through a social media brief. 

"India all-rounder Washington Sundar reported an acute onset discomfort in his left lower rib area while bowling during the first ODI against New Zealand at the BCA Stadium, Vadodara, on Sunday. He will undergo further scans, following which the BCCI Medical Team will seek expert opinion,” the BCCI said in a statement.

Ayush Badoni joined Team India ODI team as replacement of Washington Sundar 

"Washington has been ruled out of the remaining two matches of the IDFC First Bank ODI series. The Men’s Selection Committee has named Ayush Badoni as his replacement. Badoni will link up with the squad in Rajkot, the venue for the second ODI."

Who is Ayush Badoni?

Like Washington Sundar, Ayush Badoni is also an all-rounder who plays for the Delhi cricket team in domestic cricket and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the Indian Premier League (IPL). The right-handed batter has claimed 1681 runs at an average of over 57 in 21 first-class matches for Delhi. In 27 List A matches, Badoni has scored 693 runs, while 1788 in 96 T20s at a strike rate of 137.96. 

India’s updated squad for 2nd and 3rd ODIs: Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (WK), Shreyas Iyer (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Mohd Siraj, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (WK), and Ayush Badoni.

<![CDATA[LSG batter to lead Delhi in upcoming season]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/lsg-batter-to-lead-delhi-in-upcoming-season/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/lsg-batter-to-lead-delhi-in-upcoming-season/ Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:11:14 GMT

Ayush Badoni has been appointed to lead Delhi cricket for the 2025-26 domestic season, marking a departure from senior players to a youth strategy for the capital. The 25-year-old all-rounder, who has already captured public attention in the IPL as a player for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), is now tasked with the expectations of performing as the team's captain. 

Badoni has evolved as a player over a long period of time, rather than suddenly making an impact. A product of the Delhi cricket system and a student of the late Tarak Sinha (who coached Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan among others), Badoni came to the attention as a player more broadly known by the public in the spotlight during the India U-19 Asia Cup win in 2018. Badoni made his senior team debut during the 2020-21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. However, the IPL is really where Badoni was put on the national map, when LSG signed him for his base price of INR 20 lakh; Badoni made his impact right away in IPL debut with a 54. Since then, Badoni has developed into a dependable finish, scoring 963 runs in 56 IPL matches, while being retained by LSG for INR 4 crore prior to the mega auction in 2025.

Kohli's Support, Young Presence Signals New Phase

Delhi's faith in Badoni's leadership is shaped by his superb displays last season in the Ranji Trophy. He took over leadership in the middle of the season and responded with an extraordinary unbeaten 205 against Jharkhand – his first double century – and was also able to provide some valuable overs of off-spin, proving his worth as a genuine all-rounder.

Virat Kohli's stamp of approval is certainly the icing on the cake. Earlier this year, when asked if he would like to lead Delhi again during his domestic return, he rejected the idea and suggested that Badoni should continue. He even worked with him in the nets, signaling his faith in his leadership potential going forward.

The coming season, which will kick off with the Duleep Trophy on August 28, will place him alongside heavyweights such as Mumbai and Karnataka. He has a young core of players, including Anuj Rawat and Sumit Mathur, and a slight possibility here and again of Kohli playing, and Badoni's next challenge is to add aggression and continuity to Delhi's campaign.

From U-19 star to IPL star to now leading Delhi, Badoni's journey is a sign of the evolution of Indian cricket. Whether or not Badoni has what it takes to lead Delhi to silverware will remain to be seen, his appointment certainly brings a buzz of excitement to the upcoming domestic season.

Ahead of the IPL 2026 mini auction, several uncapped Indians have been in good touch in the domestic circuit. Ayush Badoni, a Lucknow Super Giants cricketer, is also one of those batters who scored tons of runs in recent matches.

In the quarter finals of the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2025, the middle-order batter slammed a double hundred against East Zone while representing North Zone, which marked his second double hundred in his First Class cricket career. During the second innings against East Zone, Badoni registered an unbeaten 204-run knock off 223 balls before settling the game for a draw.

During his well-controlled innings, the emerging batter smashed 13 boundaries and 3 boundaries. In the first innings, the Delhi-born harvested 63 runs against 60 balls.

Badoni's mesmerizing form in domestic cricket

More than his batting fireworks in IPL, Badoni's recent domestic stats are enough to amazee cricket fans. the double century against East Zone, his domestic career tally took a massive jump. According to his current domestic cricket career numbers, the 25-year-old accumulated 675 runs at an average of 168.75 in his last 6 red-ball assignments,, powered by a couple of double centuries and three fifty-plus scores. 

Before these six matches, the Delhi-born bagged 655 runs in 11 first-class matches at an average of 40.9. In total, the promising batsman attached 1,330 runs to his name at an average of 66.5. As North Zone progressed to the semifinals of the Duleepleep Trophy, Badoni will get more opportunities to improve his runtally.

Ayush Badoni started off his Duleep Trophy 2025 campaign with a well-crafted half-century. Against the East Zone team, Badoni played his fifty-plus innings for the North Zone.

The 25-year-old batter completed his 50 in 49 balls with five 4s.
