Tarouba: With his performance in West Indies, Shardul Thakur has made a strong case for his selection in India’s World Cup squad, even as the seam-bowling all-rounder looks to keep “contributing” instead of focusing on sealing his place.
Shardul turned out to be the most successful bowler in the ODI series against the West Indies, picking up eight wickets from three games with a best bowling figures of 4/37 in the decider here on Tuesday.
The ODI World Cup will be held in India from October 5 to November 19, and the team management is looking to give opportunities to players to cement their places ahead of the showpiece.
