yeah but no Jofra Archer..

Jofra Archer hasn't been included in England's preliminary 15-man squad, led by Eoin Morgan, for the upcoming world cup. The pacer, however, has been included, along with Chris Jordan, in the 17-member squad for the five-match ODI series against Pakistan, and will be in contention for a place in the World Cup side depending on his performance in the series against Pakistan. England will finalise their final 15-man World Cup squad after the Pakistan series, which comes to an end on May 19.

Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh Pant, Navdeep Saini named standbys for World Cup

 

Ambati Rayudu and Rishabh Pant might have missed the bus for the World Cup, but the two could yet be a part of the action in England and Wales after being named as standbys - along with uncapped paceman Navdeep Saini- by the selectors.

 

ESPNcricinfo understands that the selectors had proposed having the three of them as the back-ups in case there is an injury in the 15-man squad that was announced on Monday. There is no order in which they will be picked - if the situation crops up at all - and the selectors will make their choice depending on the requirements of the team.

Of the three standbys, only Saini will travel to England with the main squad as he is also part of the quartet of net bowlers that has been approved. Along with Saini, Deepak Chahar, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan would be part of the Indian entourage.

The development comes as a bit of solace for Rayudu, especially, and Pant, who were leading contenders in the lead-up to the selection meeting. MSK Prasad, the chairman of India's selection committee, clarified afterwards that Rayudu had lost his spot to Tamil Nadu batting allrounder Vijay Shankar because the latter brought "three dimensions" to the table; he is an excellent fielder along with being a dependable batsman and medium pacer.

Although Pant has not reacted in any form, Rayudu posted a message on his Twitter feed on Tuesday, saying he had ordered 3D glasses to watch the World Cup. It is understood that both the BCCI and the selectors have noted Rayudu's reaction, but have described as emotional.

Sarwan to mentor West Indies ahead of World Cup

 

Former West Indies batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan will mentor the West Indies side ahead of their next month's tri-nation ODI series against Bangladesh and hosts Ireland, and the World Cup following it.

Sarwan, who retired in 2016 after a 13-year long international career, has already joined the ongoing week-long training camp in Barbados ahead of next month's trip to Ireland.

Incidentally, Sarwan was not part of the support staff announced by Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Monday for the Ireland tour and the World Cup. However, Sarwan has been roped in specifically to work with the batsmen. It is not yet clear whether he will travel to the UK for the World Cup.

Sarwan said the offer had come from former West Indies wicketkeeper Jimmy Adams, who is CWI's director of cricket. Although it's a short stint, Sarwan said he was "overwhelmed" by the assignment.

"I am very excited to be here," Sarwan said. "When I received the call from Jimmy, I was very overwhelmed at being asked to assist West Indies cricket again.

"I have come here to act as kind of a mentor to the players and try my best to assist them in any technical ways and with any shortcomings where I think they can improve, and to offer as much help to the head coach, Floyd Reifer, and his coaching staff."

Following retirement, Sarwan has been residing in Florida. In an interview with ESPNcricinfo in 2016, Sarwan said the biggest thing in West Indies cricket was the absence of a good cricketing structure that would help the young talent grow.

Now, Sarwan has been given the opportunity to do exactly that and he has already identified areas where he can contribute. He spent time with batsmen Darren Bravo and Shai Hope in the nets on the second day of the team's training camp, currently underway at the Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies, on Tuesday.

 

Sarwan pointed out that one of the key areas he wanted the batsmen to focus on was strike rotation and stated that it would take them time to improve it.

"I know our batsmen have struggled in the past with rotating the strike, so I am trying to see how best we can get them to improve in this area," he said. "It's not an overnight fix, but it's important to share ideas with them, so that they have something to build on."

Reifer, who was recently appointed as the interim coach following a review of West Indies' coaching and selection policies led by newly-elected president Ricky Skerritt, outlined the importance of having someone like Sarwan around the team ahead of the big tournament.

"It was very important to have him here," Reifer said. "Sarwan was a player that was outstanding for West Indies. A very good batsman. A very good 'finisher' in limited-overs matches. We thought that a guy like Sarwan, coming into the camp with us whilst planning for the World Cup, would bring a wealth of knowledge.

"We are hoping he can help the batsmen get a better understanding of how to finish games, the mindset, how to approach batting first, how to approach batting last, so we thought that kind of knowledge was very important to share. He fitted in very well. He did a lot of talking and a lot of work with the batsmen."
