Speaking to The Indian Express on the sidelines of a promotional event here, the 22-year-old Ishant Sharma admits going through the worst phase of his still-nascent international career. More... 'Nobody knows how long career will last' Ishant Sharma Interviewed by Bharat Sundaresan of Indian Express on Wednesday, June 09, 2010 Speaking to The Indian Express on the sidelines of a promotional event here, the 22-year-old Ishant Sharma admits going through the worst phase of his still-nascent international career. Selection meetings haven't really gone Ishant's way either over the last couple of months - be it for the short tour to Zimbabwe, the India A sojourn to England or the Asia Cup - receiving the selectors' snub on each occasion. Speaking to The Indian Express on the sidelines of a promotional event here, the 22-year-old admits going through the worst phase of his still-nascent international career. Excerpts: How have you been dealing with not being able to play any competitive cricket? The more you play, the more you learn. I never say no even when it comes to playing for my company, ONGC. I want to play as many matches as possible because I get to learn a lot by playing more games. But these things aren't in my hand. I have been working hard with my old coach. What facets of your bowling have you been working on? He had identified a few technical flaws in my bowling that had developed along the way - things like my left arm not going the right way, and the position of my right arm. I am taking a serious look at it and working to get back to my best. It was during the IPL last year in South Africa that the downturn in your fortunes began. Did playing for the controversy-ridden KKR have an effect on your psyche? I have always believed that you have to concentrate on your own game and somehow ignore whatever is happening around you. But being part of KKR has helped this year, (especially) getting to work under Wasim Akram. Many experts believed that Ishant Sharma had lost his confidence completely since last year. How do you react? I believe if you enjoy your cricket, it is good for you. Things really started going bad for me at the ICC World Twenty20 (in 2009), and after that we went to the West Indies where I got dropped. I did not get much opportunity after that and I started putting pressure on myself to keep taking wickets and performing better. Do you think you have an advantage for starting at such a young age? I agree there are advantages of starting young. But you can't think about it too much, because nobody knows when your last day will come and how long your career will last. How are you planning to regain the lost confidence? I will try and get some match practice by playing in local matches and for my company, which will also help me improve my fitness.

go die.. and dont come back pls..
I didn't know that according to you a sentence doesn't change meaning when rephrased in the provocative way it was to grab eyeballs. Or are you bad at English? In either case, its like hitting my head against the wall. And I really don't wish to talk to you about something which is pretty much obvious.

We need Ishant to regain his confidence and get back to his best.Of all the bowlers we have he is the guy with highest ceiling who can carry our pace attack for long time.Look how Morne Morkel has bounced back after being dropped.

He himself accepted that he started go wrong in WT20 2009...when I watched him in the practice game in that tourny....i noticed some changes in his action...which was a bit different than his action in IPL the same year....in that short period of time...i dnt know how his action changed so dramatically...in a previous thread, i had already mentions this change in action which lead to his downfall...change was his left and right hand combination was a bit different and wsnt the same like when he bowled in Australia...actually in IPL 2009...he bowled very good...he was pacy...bt suddenly in T20 WC everything was changed in a week of time...it was strange i also posted a video of difference in 2 actions when he bowled in Australia and when he bowled in WI tour after that T20 WC...it wasnt a major difference, bt thats all for him......in trying left cutter bowl slower balls and out swinger...he made those changed and they dint work for him....he also came a bit closer to the stump which also contributed to this...

Ankle surgery after Australia tour - Ishant Ishant Sharma reacts after troubling the batsman, England v India, 4th Test, The Oval, 1st day, August 18, 2011 Ishant Sharma has said he will undergo surgery on his injured ankle after the conclusion of India's tour of Australia tour early next year. Ishant was ruled out of the limited-overs series against England after he sustained a ligament injury to his left ankle during the third Test at Edgbaston. "It [the tour of Australia] is a very important tour and nobody wants to miss it," Ishant told the Hindustan Times. So I'll get the surgery done only after the Australian tour. I am going to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, where I'll stay for a week or 10 days to undergo rehab and seek a proper schedule. At the moment, I've been told to do strengthening exercises." At the time of the announcement of the team for the limited-overs series, a board release said Ishant had responded well to treatment on his ligament "but will need to undergo a course of intensive rehabilitation and training to prevent recurrence of the pain in his left ankle". Ishant, however, said surgery was unavoidable. "I have a ligament tear in my left foot, and there is also a bone impingement in my left ankle. Surgery is the only way out. But if I undergo that now, my foot will be in plaster for about three months and the rehabilitation in all could take about 6-8 months." India travel to Australia in December and will play four Tests, two Twenty20s and a tri-series also involving Sri Lanka, with the final game of that tournament slated for February 28. A rehab period of six to eight months means Ishant could miss the IPL, which is expected to be played in April-May 2012, as well as a yet unconfirmed Test and ODI series against Pakistan prior to that. India tour Sri Lanka for three Tests in July, and then host New Zealand for three Tests in August-September. This will be followed by the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka and the Champions League. If Ishant goes through with his plan, he is only likely to be back when India host England for four Tests in November-December. Ishant had a busy Test series in England from the time Zaheer Khan injured himself on the first day at Lord's. He was the second-highest wicket-taker for India in their 0-4 defeat and said Zaheer's absence had a bearing on the team's performance. "You can't say our morale went down," Ishant said. "We were always in the game. But if a bowler with 10 years of experience isn't there, it affects the performance. We had England on the ropes in the second innings at Lord's, and if Zaheer was there and had taken a couple of wickets, the result could have been different." Ishant dismissed Kevin Pietersen with a short ball in the second innings of the Lord's Test, a wicket he will "cherish a lot". He said bowling in English conditions had been a tremendous learning experience. "Bowling in different venues in different conditions teaches you a lot. In India, you know that after the initial burst, you have to wait for the third or fourth day to get something i.e. reverse swing. In England, if the sun is out and there is no moisture on the track, it gets really very flat and that makes it tough to bowl on."

A year out of the game :( Knowing how lazy our players are, this is extremely bad news. He'll probably do nothing the whole time after surgery and just be a nothing bowler.
