Mumbai: Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer has suggested the name of a young player to be included in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. In the first match of the T20 series against Sri Lanka, Jaffer said that Ishant Kishan, who scored a fifties half-century, should definitely be included in the World Cup. Kishan was India’s top scorer with 89 off 56 balls in the first T20I match against Sri Lanka.
‘The half-century against Sri Lanka was a relief to Kishan, who has not been able to shine as an opener in the last few matches. Malayalee player Sanju Samson was included in the squad for the T20 series against Sri Lanka after Kishan’s color faded in the series against the West Indies. It also increased the pressure on the youngster. ‘

‘Kishan such a match was inevitable. Luckily for him, Ruthuraj was injured just before the match. So, he was able to open the innings. Lucknow was a big ground but the pitch was conducive to batting. The Sri Lankan bowlers helped Kishan throw the ball outside the off stump and throw the shot balls, ‘said Jaffer.
