Mayank Yadav, the thunderous fast bowler, has been grabbing headlines lately with his blistering pace, consistently clocking speeds over 150 km/h. His stellar performances in the ongoing IPL 2024 have earned him consecutive Player of the Match awards in two recent games, first against Punjab Kings and then against RCB, where he played a pivotal role in LSG’s victory.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan recently weighed in on Yadav’s performances, suggesting that it would be beneficial for both the youngster and Indian cricket if he were allowed to play for a county team in England this summer. Vaughan’s endorsement underscores the potential Yadav holds and the value of gaining overseas experience in different conditions.

Echoing similar sentiments, former Indian cricketer WV Raman proposed a strategic plan for Yadav’s development. Raman outlined a plan that includes a post-IPL rest period followed by potential stints in county cricket in England, red-ball cricket matches in India, and ultimately a Test series in Australia. Such a plan aims to hone Yadav’s skills in diverse environments and prepare him for the challenges of international cricket.
It would serve Mayank Yadav & Indian cricket well if they allowed him to play for a county this summer .. 👍

However, whether the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will grant permission for Mayank Yadav to participate in the upcoming county season remains to be seen. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on Yadav’s potential inclusion in the Indian squad for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which promises to be an exciting series.
Post #IPL rest and then possibly a few county matches in England in red ball format. Then back in India to train and play a few red ball cricket matches. Then unleash him in #Australia in the test series. This will be my short term plan for #MayankYadav .#cricket#TeamIndia
