India Squad for VB Series Announced
Monday, December 29 2003
The BCCI just announced their sixteen man ODI squad for the upcoming VB Series which also features host nation Australia, and tourists Zimbabwe.
The Indian Squad looks fairly well recognised with no real surprises in the team. Several ODI specialist's have been included. Hemang Badani, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif once again are the young batsman who join the Indian's in Australia.
The exciting batting and fielding talent of Yuvraj, Badani and Kaif will no doubt bolster India's touring party who have been impressive this summer. Veteran Railway's all rounder, Sanjay Bangar who is handy with bat and his medium fast seam bowling will also be in contention for the VB Series.
A major blow however for India is that fast bowling spearhead, Zaheer Khan will miss the entire Australian summer including the last test match in Sydney and the entire VB Series.
The pace bowling department will be lead by the reliable and experienced Ajit Agarkar alongside Ashish Nehra, Lakshmipathy Balaji and Irfan Pathan. Anil Kumble and Murali Kartik make up the spin bowling department.
