Indian team for T20 World Cup: Who will keep wickets, can Dube pip Hardik, Kuldeep or Chahal?

The Hindu  

As Dinesh Karthik kept clearing the fence in an Indian Premier League fixture against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, his old friend and the captain of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma, walked up to him, applauded, and said in jest, “ World Cup ke selection ke liye push karna hai isko, shabash! Rohit’s words were significant, with the T20 World Cup just a few days away and the national selection committee set to decide on the 15-member squad soon. Karim has an interesting suggestion: “Since the conditions are new and the grounds are untested, it would have been nice if someone from the coaching staff or the Board could visit those venues, do a bit of recce, and update the selectors, based on which they can make an informed decision.” Race heats up: While Hardik Pandya is likely to be the frontrunner for the seam-bowling all-rounder’s spot, Shivam Dube has given compelling reasons for selectors and the team management to consider him for the T20 World Cup. “International cricket is a different ball game altogether,” says Surendra Bhave, one of the selectors who picked India’s ODI World Cup-winning team in 2011.
