New Delhi: Yashasvi Jaiswal has been urged for inclusion in India's squad for the forthcoming ICC World Cup 2023, which would be held at home in October-November.

Jaiswal made his Test debut for India with a bang. He had a strong performance in the Indian domestic season this year and carried over that form into the IPL 2023, where he scored 625 runs with one century and five half-centuries, including the quickest in IPL ever.

He greatly pleased Sourav Ganguly by scoring a magnificent 171 against the West Indies in the first Test at Dominica.

“I would like to see Jaiswal play in the upcoming ODI World Cup. 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 long,” Ganguly told according to reports.

The former captain of India highlighted the tactical importance of Jaiswal's selection to the World Cup team.

“I am always in favor of left-hand-right-hand combination 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.

Jaiswal was recently selected by the BCCI for the Asian Games squad, which includes players who might not be selected for the Indian World Cup team due to the overlap in the schedules for the two competitions.

Therefore, according to Ganguly, it would be preferable for the selectors to exclude Jasiwal from the Asian Games and instead give him consideration for the World Cup.

Ganguly said: “They should preferably pull Jaiswal out of the Asian Games side and consider him for the World Cup.”
