World Cup 2019: Rishabh Pant travels to England as Shikhar Dhawan injures thumb

Rishabh Pant had a good run in IPL 2019 scoring 488 runs in 16 matches playing a crucial role in Delhi Capitals' (DC) reaching the qualifiers.

Rishabh Pant is set to join India’s World Cup 2019 squad in England to fill in for an injured Shikhar Dhawan. Pant was one of the batsmen in reserves and was likely to be called up in event of an injury. Former players Sunil Gavaskar and Kevin Pietersen backed the 21-year-old to replace Dhawan given his recent form in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.

Before the 15-man squad selection for the ongoing World Cup, Pant was one of the frontrunners to get his maiden mega event call-up. But, the selectors banked on Dinesh Karthik’s experience and Vijay Shankar’s ability to deliver with both bat and ball.

Pant had a good run in IPL 2019 scoring 488 runs in 16 matches playing a crucial role in Delhi Capitals’ (DC) reaching the qualifiers. The wicketkeeper-batsman was backed by legend Ricky Ponting who worked with him closely as DC’s coach.

Dhawan was injured by a bouncer during India’s clash against Australia on Thursday. The 33-year-old batted through the pain and scored his 17th ODI century to help India post a total of 352/5.

New Zealand edge ahead on see-saw day

On Day 3 of their second Test versus Bangladesh in Hamilton, when fortunes swung back and forth, New Zealand edged ahead at close of play. The hosts were 38 for 2, still trailing by 173. After cleaning up the visiting side for just 211, the New Zealand camp would have hoped for a steady start. However, the pace duo of Abu Jayed and Ebadat Hossain combined to trouble New Zealand's openers. The pair extracted movement off the pitch with Jayed also generating a hint of swing to beat the bat of both Jeet Raval and Tom Latham on a few occasions. Eventually, Jayed was rewarded for his perseverance as from round the wicket he got one to curve away to dismiss Latham. Raval followed his partner back to the hut by lofting a sucker ball from Jayed to covers.

Among the two mainstays of New Zealand's batting order, Taylor took th...
