Ajinkya Rahane shares his views on Yashasvi Jaiswal's inclusion in Team India 

First of all, I'm really happy for Yashasvi. He is truly an exciting talent. He did well in domestic cricket for Mumbai, also did well in IPL. most important thing is way he is batting in red-ball cricket. He did well in Duleep Trophy last year. His record is really good for Mumbai also.

My mess to him would be just to express your batting and t think too much about international cricket and or things. It's all about playing your game in middle, playing with freedom; That's what's important.

India vs West Indies Test series will be very important for senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as ir performance will decide ir future in Indian cricket team. Both players are going through last phase of ir career and y will aim to perform well on Caribbean tour.
