Sreeshant is in

Sreeshant is a lucky cricketer. He was in the victorious World Cup T20 team of 2007. He held the matchwinning catch off Misbah in the final. He bowled India to victory in a Test in SA. He bowled well in the previous tour of SA.

When he was dropped unjustly, it was only natural that eyebrows were raised. Wasim Akram and Ganguly came for his defence.

David Llyod referred to him as "eccentric, but outstanding".

It is only providential that he is in. He replaces the injured Praveen Kumar. It seems Providence has intervened in reinstating the talented swing bowler.

If Sachin is the redeemer of millions of Indians, so is Sreeshant to millions of Keralites. He is part of the Kerala squad and after the inception of the Kochi team in IPL, Kerala cricket will rise to dizzy heights !

Meanwhile, reports has it that the official fan gear of the ICC World Cup XI is " made in Ludhiana". Pantaloon, which has the only merchandise rights for WC 2011, has got over 50,000 T Shirts made from Ludiana for the fan gear.
