New Delhi | Jagran Sports Desk: Rohit Sharma, India’s stand-in skipper, on Saturday hinted that Mumbai all-rounder Shivam Dube could make his international debut against Bangladesh in the opening T20 in Delhi.

Speaking highly about Dube and Sanju Samson, Rohit said that one of the two players could be seen in the playing XI.

"We will assess now and probably a bit before the game as well. But both (Sanju and Dube) are definitely in the fray. One of them might definitely play. You might see in playing XI. All doors are open for everyone. Anyone might come into the playing XI any moment," said Rohit at the pre-match press conference.

Rohit, who is leading the side in absence of Virat Kohli, backed Pant which might be an indication that Samson may not figure in the XI.

"We have to back him (Rishabh). He has only played 15-20 T20s. It's too soon to judge him. There's still lot of time left before passing a judgement on Rishabh," he said.

The 32-year-old also expressed happiness that the young generation is providing India with a lot of options.

"Sanju is one of them. He has been performing quite well in the domestic circuit and IPL, and Shivam is somebody who has come into the ranks last year. He is somebody who has made his mark just before last year's IPL auction which is why people were so keen to buy him," he said.

"There are a lot of new guys in the squad. They have not played a lot of T20 for India and we have to give them opportunities and see what we have before we go for that World Cup in Australia," he added.

The captain said the conditions will dictate the combination.

"A lot has got to do with how the pitch is going to play. If the pitch is slow, slow bowlers come into the play a lot. If it means we have to play three spinners then we will play three spinners. And if there is grass and we feel there will be some bounce, then we might play with three seamers as well. So everything depends on the conditions," he said.
