BCCI Eyes N Jagadeesan as Rishabh Pant's Replacement

The team needs a new player to take his place.
The people in charge are looking at players who play really well in local games.
They wanted another player, but he can't play.
Now, they're thinking of picking N Jagadeesan, who has been scoring lots of runs in the domestic circuit.
