The upcoming Test series will be important for India to seal their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final which is scheduled to take place next year in England. Team India needs to register a 4-0 win to confirm their berth in WTC final without depending on other teams.

Jaiswal made his India debut later this year against England. He played 14 Test matches and scored 1407 runs including three tons and his highest Test score is 214 not-out.
