The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Wednesday April 17,2019 announced three standbys for the upcoming World Cup 2019.
Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant and batsman Ambati Rayudu have been named the first and second standby players while pacer Navdeep Saini is the third standby
Apart from fans and pundits, several former cricketers questioned the selection panel for leaving these two out the squad. Rayudu himself came up with a 'reactive' tweet, supposedly trolling the selectors for their decision.
However, on Wednesday, BCCI confirmed that both Rayudu and Pant can come up as replacements in case there are any injuries.
Both have been named in the standby list alongside exciting young seamer Navdeep Saini, who has been quite impressive in domestic cricket recently.
"Just like ICC Champions Trophy, we have three standbys. Rishabh Pant and Ambati Rayudu are the first and second standbys while Saini is the bowler in the list. So if anyone gets injured, as per requirement, one of the three will be going,"
