Bengal wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha, who made his Test debut against South Africa in Nagpur earlier this month, has been named in the 30-member list of probables for the World Twenty20 to be held in the West Indies from April 30 –May 16 this year.
The selectors Thursday named three new faces — talented Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey, his teammate and fast bowler R. Vinay Kumar and Madhya Pradesh wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha — among the probables.
Bowlers Rudra Pratap Singh, Munaf Patel and Piyush Chawla, out of favour in recent times, were also named in the list.
Twenty-year old Pandey, who boasts of being the first Indian to score a century in the Indian Premier League, has been rewarded for an impressive display in the domestic circuit.
Naman, a handy top-order batsman, has edged out former India ’keeper Parthiv Patel from the list which includes three other ‘keepers — India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik and Wriddhiman.
Naman has played 16 domestic Twenty20 matches and has an average and strike rate of 23.50 and 125.09 respectively.
