T20 World Cup: Avesh Khan set to join India squad as net bowler in UAE

T20 World Cup: Delhi Capitals fast bowler Avesh Khan will join India's squad as the net bowler in the UAE. The express pacer has picked up 23 wickets for Delhi in IPL 2021.

Delhi Capitals speedster Avesh Khan has been asked by the BCCI to stay back in the UAE after the IPL to join India's T20 World Cup squad as a net bowler.

The 24-year-old is the second fast bowler, after Kashmiri pace sensation Umran Malik, who has been asked to join the team and if BCCI sources are to be believed, the lanky fast bowler could well make it to the standby list by the time World Cup starts on Sunday. India will open their campaign on October 24 against Pakistan.
