Official Anthem of ICC World Cup

ICC Worldcup Indian Team Cheers......

Praveen injury, a window of opportunity for Sreesanth?

Even as preparations for the World Cup enter the final stretch for most teams, Indian worries have an added concern. Injured pacer Praveen Kumar, named in the final squad of 15, may well have to sit out of the quadrennial event with murmurs within the BCCI steadily gaining momentum that the swing bowler is yet to completely recover from his elbow problem. The Uttar Pradesh seamer, who was undergoing treatment at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, will now be heading to England for further treatment, a board official confirmed.
“Based on the medical reports from England, we will decide whether to pick him or to ask for a replacement,” a top BCCI official confirmed, even though the BCCI has not yet given any request for a likely replacement required. The Board has also not yet informed the national selection committee about the issue and a final call on Praveen Kumar’s availability will be taken only after assessing reports from England. But should the need arise if Praveen fails to recover completely, a selector said they had one ready.
