Having been ignored by the national selectors despite consistent performances in domestic cricket, young batting guns Sarfaraz Khan and Prithvi Shaw get another chance to prove their worth when Mumbai, who earlier this month clinched the Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy for the first time, launch their Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign against Bengal at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi on Saturday.
Since India were outplayed by England in the semifinals of the T20 World Cup in Australia, there has been a clamour to include youngsters in the team, and this tournament, which involves One-Dayers, provides an ideal opportunity to the likes of Sarfaraz and Prithvi to enhance their case for selection in India's white-ball team.
