KOLKATA: Young sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s chic 171-run innings in his debut Test match towards West Indies in Roseau, Dominica, has impressed Sourav Ganguly so much. Ganguly, who too had scored a century on his Test debut at Lord’s in 1996, felt Jaiswal ought to be in India’s World Cup squad.
“I would like to see Jaiswal play in the upcoming ODI World Cup,” he mentioned right here. Ganguly felt the teen has the temperament and ability to go the space. “I have watched him from close quarters during the IPL. But red-ball cricket is different and he showed that he has it in him to succeed there too. I feel he has the quality to serve Indian cricket for a long time,” Ganguly mentioned.
The former India skipper careworn on Jaiswal’s inclusion within the World Cup squad from a tactical standpoint too. “I am always in favour of left-hand-right-hand combinations in the top order. That puts the rival attack under some trouble as the bowlers have to continuously vary their line and length accordingly,” he identified.

Although Jaiswal has been named within the Asian Games squad, Ganguly felt in case the selectors aren’t pondering of these within the Asian Games for the World Cup, then “they should preferably pull Jaiswal out of the Asian Games side and consider him for the World Cup.”
