As the debate goes on, Cricket legend Ian Bishop has backed young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal for the upcoming ICC event in June. 2024

"Jaiswal is on the board for me. Because in spite of his lack of form initially in the tournament, you're gonna get that with young players. He's still 22 or something, finding his way in the game, so he's gonna have those little dips.

But because he plays so aggressively, I think he's made for the modern T20 games. So even if he has a run of form, I'm sticking with him at this young age," Bishop said during an appearance on Star Sports.
