India's Test bowling debutants rarely get second chance, says report

India keeps handing Test caps to bowlers, then rarely keeps them past that first match. Several seamers have walked away with single-cap careers even after strong domestic seasons.

Selectors lean toward instant impact, so bowlers who don't deliver right away are usually dropped. The system doesn't build room for adaptation.

Saransh Jain, the 33-year-old off-spinner picked for Sri Lanka, now faces that same one-and-done risk if the wickets don't come straight away.
