The selectors chose Dinesh Karthik, KL Rahul, and Vijay Shankar. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Reasons why\nRayudu was not selected:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to MSK Prasad they have been looking for a few middle order batsmen which included Dinesh Karthik, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey. They also thought of Rayudu but the Tamil Nadu all-rounder Vijay Shankar was selected for his three dimensions. He can bat, he can bowl plus he is a good fielder. They are thinking of keeping Vijay Shankar at No. 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Reasons why the\n21 year old wicket keeper Rishab Pant was not selected:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to MSK\nPrasad Dinesh Karthik was selected for his wicket keeping skills and\nexperience. He said, \u201cDefinitely a case where we debated in length. We\nall were in unison that either Pant or DK will come in only when Mahi is\ninjured. In an important game, wicketkeeping is also important. That\u2019s the\nreason we went with Dinesh Karthik. Karthik is just a back-up for Dhoni, and\nwon&#8217;t start automatically in the playing eleven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Role of KL Rahul:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MSK Prasad said, \u201cTo begin with, KL Rahul will only be a\nreserve opener, but if the team management needs, he can bat in the middle\norder too.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian Men\u2019s Cricket Team coach Ravi Shastri adviced Rishab\nPant and Ambati Rayudu not to lose heart. He said, \u201cWhen you only have to pick\n15, there is bound to be someone or the other who misses out, which is very\nunfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Dinesh Karthik to Rishab Pant:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DK said his journey for 2019 world cup began after he returned\nto the Indian team in 2017. He added someone or the other will be missed out.\nIf Rishab Pant would have been selected then he would have been disappointed,\nand if now he is selected then its natural for Pant to be disappointed. Pant is\na very good player, he will be playing for India for a long time. If he can\nplay along with Dhoni why can\u2019t he and Rishab share the dressing room post the\nWorld Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last date to announce the players for the World Cup is 23<sup>rd<\/sup>\nApril as set by the ICC. Till now only New Zealand, Australia, India,\nBangladesh, England, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Pakistan have announced their\n15-member team who will be playing the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cALL THE BEST TO THE MEN IN BLUES.
