Irfan Pathan demands inclusion of Shivam Dubey in T20 World Cup team

[ad_1]

New Delhi: Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan wants Shivam Dubey in the T20 World Cup squad after the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star batsman scored 45 off 24 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday.

Dubey thrilled everyone by hitting two sixes off T Natarajan over the mid-wicket boundary, although Cummins’ change of pace kept him calm. Cummins bowled a slow bouncer outside the off stump, forcing Dube to open his hands on it and the batsman gave the catch straight to backward point, making 45 off 24 balls.

“I would definitely make the selection, if I was a selector, I would keep a close eye on him,” Pathan told Star Sports. I would really pick him in the T20 World Cup squad because he is really hitting the spinners. He doesn’t need to go out there and try to set up against the spinners.

We have seen it in this IPL and last season too, we have seen him against quality wrist spinners, against finger spinners.” “And when you have a batsman like that, why don’t you want to take advantage of him? Keep in mind, he is not a bad batsman even against fast bowlers.

People forget that he comes from Mumbai. And in Mumbai also you will see a lot of surge. Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden stressed on keeping a top eye on Dube this IPL season for India’s T20 World Cup campaign, saying, “The conditions don’t allow much bounce.

Now, I know the first match is going to be for India against Pakistan in New York, but generally, power hitters who like to hit the ball in this kind of range can really dominate in the Caribbean . So that’s a really exciting prospect. And, we are talking about Indian selection with IPL and they go together because of pressure, consistency, performances.
