For T20 World Cup 2024, Ex-India selector wants Mayank Yadav to be fast-tracked
Mayank Yadav has taken the world of cricket by storm. The 21-year-old has already become one of the fastest bowlers India has ever produced and has broken multiple records after bowling just 48 deliveries in the IPL 2024. After smashing the 155 kmph speed barrier and the stumps, many have called for the speedster to be included in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
Former Indian chief selector, MSK Prasad, has backed the express pacer for the T20 World Cup as well. While talking with the Times of India, Prasad praised the fast bowler’s accuracy, pace, and intelligence.
He said, “Genuine fast bowlers are a rare commodity. If you see JavagalSrinath or all the other great fast bowlers, they never spent so much time in domestic cricket. If you feel that a bowler has got pace, accuracy, and game intelligence, then why not pick him straightaway? He’s got a good change of pace also. With JaspritBumrah and Mohammed Siraj as certainties, just imagine what firepower the inclusion of Mayank will add to India’s pace attack!”
