1/4

Under-fire Ishant had a forgettable outing in the third ODI here last night as he gave away 30 runs in one over to tilt the match in Australia's favour, but he still figured in the 15-member squad named by the selectors.

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had, however, hinted that Ishant could retain his place when he said he would like to give struggling players a longer rope.

All the batsmen in the squad, except for Yuvraj Singh, have been among runs and thus retained their places.

4/4

Comeback man Yuvraj scored 7 and 0 in the two innings he has played so far, besides the 77 not out in the one-off Twenty20 International and the selectors might have retained him considering his experience and ability to single-handedly win matches on his day.
