The Tiger King
I don't know for sure. But I wouldn't risk it given how wayward he has been in the past.How do you know that'll happen?

shakib for example, his bowling has gone down the drains in testsIt's definitely the case that some bowlers playing lots of LOI cricket can restrict their FC/Test development simply because they don't get to play that format as much—Mitch Starc, for one. Alternatively, they could be spinners who are pushed into bowling in a style which is really suited for LOI cricket and awful in Tests.
Ishant falls into neither of these categories, though. Bloke's played 60 Tests or w/e.
Doubt his decline has anything to do with him playing ODIs. He's always played loads of LOIs.shakib for example, his bowling has gone down the drains in tests
Yeah a lot of LOIs is one of the main factorsDoubt his decline has anything to do with him playing ODIs. He's always played loads of LOIs.
He's banned for one test match.Isn't he banned atm anyway?
Tahir been a gun in limited overs cricket for the majority of the last few years and has experience in India due to the IPL so not a crazy selection.Don't know why would SA play Tahir instead of Phangiso. Tahir has been awful. Thought Phangiso was in pretty decent form
I don't think it'd be the worst thing in the world if he played some ODIs, particularly if the bowling plan could be structured in a way as to keep him away from the death bowling, but yeah he shouldn't play T20I cricket. Arguments over whether it'd affect his Test bowling aside, he's just really bad at it;.Ishant is a terrible LO bowler. His natural length leads to a lot of edges behind the stumps, and when he tries to pitch fuller to compensate, which just leads to more hittable deliveries. When he misses his line it gets cut and pull.
He's doing well now, no need to mess with his head by getting him in the limited overs teams.
He can play a role in ODIs, but we have decent bowlers already and Ishant needs the rest.I don't think it'd be the worst thing in the world if he played some ODIs, particularly if the bowling plan could be structured in a way as to keep him away from the death bowling, but yeah he shouldn't play T20I cricket.

I dont understand where you are coming from he has been one of the Proteas best LOI bowlers .Don't know why would SA play Tahir instead of Phangiso. Tahir has been awful. Thought Phangiso was in pretty decent form
who? what?Yeah Nehra is genuinely a good shout at this stage.
Gunned it this year in the IPL. Is he international standard? Who knows, but wouldn't be the worst idea to give him a game or two to have a look.who? what?[/B]
I was a Nehra fan back in 04-05 but his time is up
