KOLKATA: Young sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s sublime 171-run innings in his debut Test match against West Indies in Roseau, Dominica, has impressed Sourav Ganguly a lot. Ganguly, who too had scored a century on his Test debut at Lord’s in 1996, felt Jaiswal should be in India’s World Cup squad.
“I would like to see Jaiswal play in the upcoming ODI World Cup,” he said here. Ganguly felt the youngster has the temperament and skill to go the distance. “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 said.
The former India skipper stressed on Jaiswal’s inclusion in the World Cup squad from a tactical point of view 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 pointed out.

Although Jaiswal has been named in the Asian Games squad, Ganguly felt in case the selectors are not thinking of those in 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.”
