Young speedster Harshit Rana, who was taken with the Indian squad as a cover for the opening Test against England at Leeds, has now been released by the team management.
Harshit Rana- who played two Test matches against Australia and gave out decent outcomes- was part of India A squad, but barely made any impact in the unofficial match against England Lions- where he was hit for 99 runs for just 1 wicket in 27 overs.
“Harshit Rana has been released from the squad. He hasn’t travelled with the Indian squad to Birmingham for the second Test starting July 4,” a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

However, it has been evident over the time that Harshit Rana is not ready to play red-ball cricket at the top-l level, and is an upcoming sensation with work in progress.
