Indian pace bowler Avesh Khan has been included in India’s stand-by for the mega Test series in England and also the World Test Championship final.

The 24-years-right-arm pacer played all eight games for Delhi Capitals this season, while in the lat four seasons he only played nine games. The young talent got rewarded for his brilliance onfield.
