Harsh Dubey, Nachiket Bhute join Vidarbha Under-25 squad in Rajkot

NAGPUR: As soon as Vidarbha ended their Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign in Kolkata on Wednesday, two youngsters — Harsh Dubey and Nachiket Bhute — in the senior squad were asked to fly to Rajkot and join the under-25 outfit, who are playing BCCI State-A one-day tournament.

The Mandar Mahale-led side has won the first 2 games and lost a match to Jammu & Kashmir in Rajkot on Wednesday. With Vidarbha eying victories in the matches to come, the presence of pacer Nachiket and left-arm pacer Harsh will provide a big boost to the team.

Vidarbha needed a pacer to bowl in the death and Nachiket will provide a solution to the problem.

The rule that puts a limit on fielding not more than 3 players in playing XI, who have played in the senior team in the current and last season, can make Vidarbha's team formation a bit tricky.

In the last 3 matches, Vidarbha fielded 3 players who have played in the senior team. Now, with the addition of Nachiket and Harsh, who will make the playing XI cut will be interesting to see.

While Nachiket played five Vijay Hazare games in Kolkata. The pacer was impressive with his line and economy rate in all the five matches. When Vidarbha went out of knockout contention, Harsh got to play two one-day games, which were the last two games.
