Sourav Ganguly backs Yashasvi Jaiswal for ICC World Cup 2023
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly believes that Yashasvi Jaiswal should be included in India’s squad for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. Jaiswal has been in great form recently, performing well in the domestic season and IPL 2023. He made a remarkable Test debut, scoring 171 runs against West Indies. Ganguly is impressed by Jaiswal’s skills and believes he has the potential to serve Indian cricket for a long time.
Tactical advantage and left-hand-right-hand combination
Ganguly also emphasizes the tactical advantage of having a left-hand-right-hand combination in the top order. This puts pressure on the opposing bowlers as they have to constantly adjust their line and length. Ganguly believes Jaiswal’s inclusion in the World Cup squad would create trouble for the rival attack.
Prioritizing World Cup over Asian Games
Jaiswal has been named in the Asian Games squad by the BCCI, but Ganguly suggests that he should be considered for the World Cup instead. As the schedules of both events overlap, Ganguly believes it is better for the selectors to pull Jaiswal out of the Asian Games team and prioritize his inclusion in the World Cup squad.
