Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana earns tour spot to Australia amid praise for pace and composure despite economy concerns.

Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana, selected for India’s tour of Australia, has drawn attention for his pace and aggressive style despite criticism over his economy rate. His inclusion follows strong Asia Cup performances, including a crucial last-over defense against Sri Lanka. Former players and coaches defend his selection, highlighting his high strike rates and ability to bowl back-of-length deliveries effectively on Australian pitches. While concerns remain about yorker control and backfoot alignment, experts believe his speed and composure under pressure could be vital ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
