ankit looks matured and better bowler that sran at this moment.....yeah ankit looks little plumpy and unfit but defeintly better left arm bowler than sran...

Aniket got injured at the wrong time I guess. Didn't play VH trophy. He needs to shred few pounds.

[maniac]

is he an allrounder?

seems like a left field pick.... Good to see Pandya and dhawan getting a nod ahead of bunny.

also  interesting to see nehra back.... Was really good in the IPL and champions league but at his age is he going to sustain that brief momentum he had 8 months back?

also good 2nd chance for yuvi to make up for the World Cup debacle

Brainder Sran is as tall as Wasim Ekram who is pretty tall himself.

What was your reaction when you heard about the call-up?

The reaction came more from my Punjab team mates. We were all in Bengaluru for the Vijay Hazare Trophy and when the news broke, everyone got really excited for me. There was problem with my phone, so I did not know about the selection. I got to know it from my team mates.

Did you ever think that you will see this day so soon in your career?

I made my debut in 2011 and there was a big gap in between due to my injuries. It hasn’t been long since I returned to cricket and I never thought I would receive an India call-up so soon after the comeback. I thought I would be playing for India A and if I did well there I would be in contention for an India call-up.

We don’t have a left-arm pacer in the Indian team right now. Do you think that worked to your advantage?

Yes, I have had the advantage of being a left-arm pacer. There are many fast bowlers in the line right now, but being a left-arm pacer has pushed me ahead. It would be great if I can fill that void in the Indian team and lend a bit of variety to the bowling attack.

The domestic calendar this year has been tweaked keeping in mind the World Twenty20 next year. Did that bode well for players like you?

The advancing of the limited overs domestic tournament has benefitted us a lot. If we were playing Ranji Trophy right now, players like me would have missed the Australia tour. Since the Vijay Hazare Trophy has been advanced, the selectors came to watch these matches and we got an opportunity to make our case. The selectors spoke to me and encouraged me to keep performing. I did well in the tournament and got rewarded for it.

How much did your stint with Rajasthan Royals in the IPL help you grow as a cricketer?

It helped a lot to be part of Rajasthan Royals. I hadn’t played any cricket at the higher level then and speaking with the international cricketers in the team helped me a lot. Players like Tim Southee and James Faulkner had constant conversations with me, guiding me, telling me how things work in terms of bowling and field placements. Rahul (Dravid) sir boosted my confidence and encouraged me all the time. All this mattered a lot to me.

Who is the fast bowler you look up to?

When I started playing cricket there was no one in particular. But once I started to play professionally and understood the game better, I came to admire Wasim Akram and Zaheer Khan. I started to watch Zak pa’s bowling and Wasim Akram’s videos a lot. I haven’t had the chance to talk to Zak pa but I did have a brief conversation with Wasim sir for about 15-20 minutes. It was about how to operate with the old ball and which areas to bowl in from over and around the stumps. He said that he would teach me properly when we meet in the nets some day.

As a young fast bowler, is Australia the perfect place to start your international career?

It is a dream of every fast bowler to play on quick wickets with bounce and in conditions that help the pacers. If I get the opportunity to play, it would be a great experience to play in Australia.

[Ironhide]

Looks like 6 feet 2 inches based on that photo with Wasim Akram.

[Shivaji bhonsle]

Boxer turned fast bowler? Now, that's the kind of players we want. Brilliant.. !

[vishalvirsingh]

I hope bran bowls well today in the vijayhazare.

I hope he is given a bit of opportunity and not dumped like sreenath arvind.

Australia the place to start the career. Irfan did and that gave him confidence. Hope this left arm bowler benefits as well.
