ICC World Cup 2019: Vijay Shankar ruled out, Mayank Agarwal set to join India squad

Maybe tactical. Maybe they know Shankar is pony and are drafting in a replacement as there are concerns with the batting, especially since Dhawan's injury.
 
Selectors should straight away try him as opener against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Pant or Rahul should be backup.
 
So this is why he didn't play against England? Makes sense now. Hopefully Mayank will play as an opener and Rahul should bat at 4. :inti
 
Mayank played well in his test debut at Melbourne, didn't see any nerves. I'd bring him in as opener vs Bangladesh.
 
Our prayers have been answered.

Let the kid open.

Vijay Shankar Ruled Out Of World Cup

Vijay Shankar, who suffered a "toe niggle" ahead of the India vs England World Cup 2019 clash on Sunday, has been ruled out of the tournament. According to PTI, Vijay Shankar is likely to be replaced by uncapped Mayank Agarwal in India's World Cup 2019 squad. Karnataka opener Mayank Agarwal, 28, who made his Test debut against Australia last year, is yet to play in the One-Day International (ODI) format. Vijay Shankar is the second Indian player to be ruled out of the World Cup 2019, after opener Shikhar Dhawan injured his thumb. "Vijay got hit on the toe by a Jasprit Bumrah delivery once again. His situation is not great and he won't be able to take part in the tournament. He is going back home," a a senior BCCI official told PTI.


"The Indian team management is likely to ask for Mayank Agarwal as replacement since he is an opener and also it might give KL Rahul a chance to get back to the No.4 position in case Rishabh Pant fails in the next two games," the source added.

In fact, Rohit Sharma had mentioned Shankar's injury but it was presumed to be an old hit that he took at Southampton.

It is expected that Agarwal's name will be approved by the ICC's tournament technical committee and the player will arrive in Birmingham and travel to Leeds subsequently.

India lost their previous match to England by 31 runs in Birmingham on Sunday and will take on Bangladesh at the same venue on Tuesday.

Exactly. There is no guarantee that he will make runs readily but he is much more hard working , demonstrates application and attitude where it matters. Pant could be a backup to Kedar or vice versa.

Replace Dhoni with a specialist bowler, we'll have the perfect combo. :23::25:
 
Atlast our prayers have been answered.

Pant in place of Kedar.
Make Aggarwal open.

On flat pitches especially when playing against England.
Replace Kuldeep with Jadeja.
 
Why not Rayudu?

Won't matter in any case. Pant is a much superior no 4.

Jadeja needs to replace Jadhav for India to be at their best x1 from next game onwards
 
That sounds more like an 'injury'. But good replacement for India. With the current batting line up, they were going nowhere.

The thing is if England qualify, we will play them on the same ground and you can expect the pitch to be flat again. England will definitely go after chahal atleast Jaddu will dart a few and save runs plus obviously much better batsman than Jadeja and gun fielder
 
Play rahul at no. 4,open with mayank and replace jadhav with pant, now thats a solid lineup.
Railu katta like jadhav shouldn't be in the team, kohli isn't even using him as a bowler then why is this guy playing.
 
Mayank Agarwal in List A cricket in the last 24 months:

Why would you want to break up India's best bowling pair?

Both wristies should ay every match unless there's another ground with a 60 m boundary on one side.

Only then does it make sense to play 3 seamers and 1 spinner.

Probably because the batting is dire and India are going in with three number 11s + Kuldeep who can’t do much with the bat at this level either.

Not saying Jadeja should replace Chahal but can understand why people are thinking about it. He’s a decent odi bowler and it would lengthen the batting lineup.

If one of the spinners has to be replaced by Jadeja, then surely it's Kuldeep who should be replaced and not Chahal.

Yesterday was Chahal's first bad game in this tournament. Among spinners, he is the joint highest wicket-taker in this WC so far with 10 wickets. Compared to that, Kuldeep has picked only 5 wickets.

If the Kulcha partnership has to be broken (and I don't think it should) it should be Jadeja and Chahal as India's spinners.
 
They played Rayudu all year and not only did he not make the World Cup squad, he didn't make it even after two replacements were needed.
 
Mayank slots in nicely opening the batting with Rohit. Technically very strong and then Rahul back in 4. Middle order looks much better.

This injury might iron out few batting glitches.
 
Blessing in disguise. Agarwal is good top order strokemaker & plays with positive intent.
 
Can Bumrah bowl to Jadhav and Dhoni too in practice nets👍

It’s a good news overall. Mayank and Pant are both better options than Shankar. Shami is as good as Bhuvi. Only Dhawan’s exit is bad for India.
 
The International Cricket Council has confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 has approved Mayank Agarwal as a replacement player for Vijay Shankar in the India squad for the remainder of the tournament.

All-rounder Shankar has been ruled out of further participation in the event due to a toe injury sustained during a training session. Twenty eight-year-old Agarwal, a top-order batsman, has played two Tests but is yet to play an ODI.

The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad.
 
Basically they are using world cup matches to select world cup XI hahaha. Crazy numbnuts. Everybody knew India was not exactly carrying the best possible squad except the drunkard Ravi shastri.

We are giving good competition to Inzi. He brought in Wahab out of the blue and we are close to getting Mayank to debut in a world cup.

Agreed.

Finally the team management is showing balls.

Mayank and Pant should have gotten games non-stop for the last 18 months rather than being thrown in at the end of the WC, but better late than never.

If Mayank does what he did in Australia in the test series, India will win the WC.

Can you pls explain why DK/Pant better than Dhoni?
 
Mine XI would be like
1. Agarwal
2. Rphit
3. Kohli
4. Rahul
5. Dhoni
6. Pandya
7. Jadeja
8. Bhuvi
9. Shami
10. Bumrah
11. Chahal/Kuldeep

Kedar dropped due to he mostly get to bat after 40 overs where he's not good enough.. Replace him with Jadeja, a gun fielder and an economical bowler.. So in this XI you've 5 proper bowlers + Pandya and bat up-to 7 (or 8)..
 
The dumbness of Kohli-Shastri-MSK Prasad trio can be judged by the simple fact that, they replaced Dhawan (Opener) with Pant (Middle order), while now they are replacing Shankar (An A/r) with Mayank (Opener).

Just now Bangar said that Pant will continue to bat at 4. So Dhoni, who can't hit to save his life, bats at 6, as a finisher, while Pant, the agressor, is made to bat at 4, where he has to primarily build an inning.

The very fact that these jokers gets billion to do their jobs, is mind boggling.
 
Im Sorryy but is Mayank expected to perform as soon as he lands?

Selectors got scared after last match lol :))

Wouldn't exclude Chahal just yet. We need an extra pacer though. Jadeja doesn't deserve to be in the ODI squad. The batting looks fine. I hope Mayank makes an impact just like he did in the test series in Australia. Our ODI batting looks extremely brittle nowadays.

Agree. Confusing. Will Mayank replace KL or will the latter continue to open? Or will KL drop down to 4? Or will Pant continue to bat at 4, like Bangar mentioned? Haha

Yes. This was a big fail.


They tried two many players at no 4. And ended up not giving anyone enough chances to cement his place.

And surprisingly the guy who got the maximum no of chances was Rayadu of all people.
 
Given how things are going, I won't be surprised if Raina ends up in the team, by the time India's WC campaign ends.
 
Vijay Shankar is not injured, this is just a face saving exit for him. He is connected to a selector I feel.....

Potentially our best XI man-for-man. But I am concerned about the 6th bowler.

Which is why I think Kedar will remain in the XI.

Oh you want Pandya at least! So refreshing! And you may accept even Pant once Dhoni goes out! Today is probably the celebration day of Union of IPL & non-IPL, I am so blessed :)
 
He should replace KL Rahul in the starting line up. He is a very good player when I have seen him play. Strengths India even more.
 
Waiting for Dhoni and Jadhav to get injured :asif

Finally, this is a good selection. Mayank may not be Dhawan, but he is a solid opener with agressive intent.

Mayank
Rohit
Kohli
Rahul
Dhoni/DK (I prefer DK as he is not a coward and will go for the win)
Pant
Pandya
Jadeja(if it is a flat pitch, Chahal if it is a spin pitch)
Kuldeep
Shami
Bumrah

This team has the potential to win the WC. We bat deep with Jaddu after Pandya. Enough firepower in the form of Hardik/Pant/Jaddu to accelerate in the last 10 overs.
 
Not convinced with the injury but Kohli knows he needs a consolidation from the opening pair. Rahul at 4. Mayank might play last game against sri lanka. Bangladesh game might be do or die for Kedar.
 
So now KL will be asked to move back to four. What torture on the poor chap.
 
Poor planning by the management. Feel for Vijay Shankar now. He should not have been in the squad in the first place. Now dropping him will have an impact on his domestic career as well. The loss of Dhawan is showing a lot of effect than everybody anticipated
 
The value of Dhawan is astonishing! These three guys (Rohit/Dhawan/Kohli) are like Tridevs for India, each one are needed, each one are important!

Rahul should make his entire mind for middle order! That is where he can stay in the team (even in Tests, as Mayank & Shaw are gearing up!) He can compete with Rahane, Hanuma, etc! There is absolutely no room in Opening, Rohit & Dhawan should stay for some more years (possibly till next world cup!) & should gradually give way for Shaw & other upcoming quality players! His desire for T20 & modification of game/stroke play has cost him dearly!

Rahul has to be equally blamed for this debacle! It is not easy to replace Dhawan/Rohit, its not anyone's fault! He could not capitalize on the given opportunities! If he did that Kohli would have happily sacrificed his No.3 spot to him! (Kohli can still be effective at No.4 because he doesn't depend only on aerial shots & boundaries for scoring runs!) Rohit/Dhawan used to get injured at times and even at that time he couldn't utilize the opportunity...
 
Agarwal looked really good in aus series. Not sure about his white ball game but he has been scoring runs even for India A in all the formats.
 
Vijay Shankar.... One player whose career will get a wrong turn because he was selected for world cup. The irony.

So why not drop Pandya too? His partnership with Dhoni is the reason why we lost the match? And what are you mean by trying to win? Is that mean hit the ball where fielder stands?

Rahul was preferred over Mayank in all the series recently. He has to perform now. If he doesn't kick this wannabe Kohli out of this team. There are other guys waiting for their turn and he is taking his place for granted. :inti
 
Happy for the guy, but am I the only one worried that he would have played only 1 odi before playing a world cup semi final.
 
Its a good move as it means that Rahul can move to the middle order. Then Kedar can be dropped.
