Having showcased his prowess with two half-centuries in the series, Mitchell’s workload management became a priority for the hosts.


Coach Gary Stead emphasized the significance of preserving Mitchell, considering the upcoming Test matches against South Africa and Australia. With the series already secured at 4-0, the decision to rest Mitchell provides an opportune moment to reintroduce all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, who was initially rested for the series.

Ravindra, having last played in December, steps back into the national squad, eager to make his mark. Stead expressed confidence in Ravindra’s fit into the team’s role after a brief break.
