Ishant Sharma on standby for the upcoming World Cup, suggests report

[Ankit_sharma03]

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.

This is fecked up

[bowl_out]

As long as Saini is the first option, I don't care that Ishant is there.

[Vilander]

no problem with this. From what is on display in IPL who else should be after Saini ? umesh ? Khaleel ? Siraj ? Prasish ? i dont think Ishant after Saini is wrong.

[vvvslaxman]

No issues He is our lucky guy in england lol 

[Gollum]

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. 

[beetle]

Ishant has done well.

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

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.

[Real McCoy]

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 Buttler, Russell and Maxwell will eat him for breakfast, lunch and dinner

[Suhaan]

No Ishant plz,

Saini for the package he brings in

True. India need death over specialists as backup.

[putrevus]

These selectors have been the worst bunch.They have no vision.

[Nikhil_cric]

Good. We need a tall bowler as well and Ishant has swung and seamed the ball more than any other bowler with the red ball, has been remarkably accurate and maintains sufficient pace. Not a bad decision at all.

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

[test fan]

Right choice ..he has lot of experience on those condition and better than all other options.

[vvvslaxman]

Breaking news ISHANT bowled an yorker

[Turning_track]

Won't mind Ishant being a back up seamer but he's definitely not up for bowling in death overs. 

[ShoonyaSifar]

No disrepct to Ishant but wHile we are at it, why not put Mohit Sharma in the reckoning as well. Did very well in 2015 WC and has the WC experience, something Ishant doesn't have
