Former Indian skipper, Sourav Ganguly isn’t too convinced on how the young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant would fit into India’s World Cup squad as he has played just three ODIs all against the West Indies in India last year. However, he believes that Pant is definitely a player for the future.

However, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli wasn’t feeling anxiety or seemed unsettled after his team put shoddy batting performance in the T20I series against Australia as he was willing to give more game-time to youngsters like KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, keeping in mind the upcoming World Cup in England.

Pant has been picked ahead of Dinesh Karthik for the five-match ODI series against Australia, India’s last ODI assignment before the mega event in England. Talking about the same, Ganguly said, “He has to fit in. I don’t know whether he would be able to fit in at this moment. So it depends. But he’s obviously a player for the future.”

Rishabh has made a big statement in Tests by scoring centuries in England and Australia but he’s yet to make an impact in the ODIs and T20Is.

Describing the issue further, Ganguly said, “Karthik is not part of the ODI squad then obviously they are not thinking him as an option. It depends on what the selectors want. India is a very good side. It’s a very strong side. They are a pretty much self-selected team. I don’t see too many changes in the squad. Bowling is good in (Jasprit) Bumrah, (Mohammed) Shami, Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar). Batting picks itself. Spinners (Yuzvendra) Chahal and Kuldeep (Yadav). They are a pretty self-selected team.”

Ganguly further added that the Indian cricketers are too good and will adjust to the 50-over format easily.

Sourav elaborated, “It does not bring in bad habits. When you see Kohli bat the way he bats, there are no bad habits at all. World Cup is how you play in the World Cup. It’s (IPL) a different tournament. You just play and move on to the World Cup. I do not think so. They are too good and will easily adjust. The whole last year we played. How much we play?”
