Ishant Sharma might not have played an ODI for India since January 2016, but he is performing brilliantly in Test cricket over the past few years.

Ishant, who claimed 41 wickets at an average of 21.80 from 11 Tests in the last calendar year, has been doing reasonably well in the ongoing IPL as well. Playing for Delhi Capitals, the speedster has taken 10 wickets in 11 games at an impressive economy rate of 7.65.

Considering his brilliance lately, Ishant has been named as a standby player for the 2019 World Cup, a TOI report claims.

Earlier, the BCCI had confirmed young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, veteran batsman Ambati Rayudu and pacer Navdeep Saini as India’s designated standbys for the mega event, beginning May 30 in England Wales.

"Saini is our No 1 choice as a reserve seamer, while Ishant is the second option. He has experience of bowling in the English conditions, and he's bowling well currently," a source in the Board told TOI on Monday (May 6).

As far as Ishant Sharma’s overall ODI record is concerned – the lanky pacer has played 80 ODIs for India, picking up 115 wickets at an average of 30.98 with the best bowling figures of 4/34.

Team Ishant all the way, prefer him over Saini tbh. Lambu knows English conditions now after his CC stint, that too under Dizzy's tutelage. 

let's hope that lambu does not turn into a lamb (for the slaughter) if he does play in any of the games.

Nice to have you back man, long time.

 

This Ishant is different I feel, last 3-4 years especially.

thanks. yes, last few months were very busy.

 

ishant version 2.0 is far improved in tests, but he (or for that matter other back-ups) has not played sufficient ODIs unfortunately; I think lambu's last ODI was 2016 or 2017. just one more instance of crappy planning from the great selectors.

I hope Saini and Prasidh are considered over him if the need arises. Ishant is only effective with the new ball. We have three new ball bowlers who are better than him. If he gets picked, he will get first bite at the new cherry because his friendship with Kohli. Bumrah, Shami and Bhuvi will be like wth. I hope we dont run into situations like that. And he gets carted at the death overs :lol: Buttler, Russell and Maxwell will eat him for breakfast, lunch and dinner :eating:

True. India need death over specialists as backup.

He is doing fine and it makes sense to make him stand-by...

He can be a good third seamer

But keep him away in dearth overs
