"If I was the selector, he'd be my wicketkeeper in the World Cup squad" - Stuart Broad on Rishabh Pant
Former English pacer Stuart Broad recently picked Rishabh Pant as his choice for the wicketkeeper-batter role in India's squad for the upcoming 2024 World Cup.
During a discussion on Star Sports regarding the matter, Broad backed Pant for the role, saying:
"The selection for the Indian team is up in the air a little bit. You have some players pending in that team. Rishabh Pant's probably the one on whom there's a lot of discussion about. There was a shot I saw him play against KKR, a no-look flick over deep square leg for six. "
Broad further continued:
"The moment he played that shot, I thought, he has got to be in that T20 World Cup squad. He's ready. He's good to go. I'd like to see him be an Impact Sub in a couple of games, taking a bit of the workload off his shoulders. He's a match-winner, so I think if I was the selector, he'd be my wicketkeeper in the World Cup squad."
