New Delhi: Ishant Sharma failed to prove his fitness and more or less out of the World cup which I s just six days away.
Team India had a practice session on Saturday but the lanky fast bowler didn't bowl a single delivery.
According to some sources he will most probably be replaced by Mohit Sharma in the 15-member World Cup squad.
Mohit along with Dhawal Kulkarni, both of whom were expected to head back to India after the tri-series, were seen bowling full throttle during Saturday's practice.
Meanwhile, India seems to have put its other injury worries behind. Rohit Sharma who was sidelined after the first ODI of the tri-series on 16th of Jan because of an hamstring injury, batted in the nets for long hours.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar too was suffering from an ankle injury that saw him miss out on both the Tests and the ODIs in Australia. But the highest ranked Indian bowler in ODI cricket was spotted bowling in the nets without any obvious discomfort.
"I have fully recovered now. Yes there was a niggle in the One days and didn't play the tests too. But now I have recovered. Last 3-4 days were really good for me and I'm looking forward to playing the World Cup", said the medium pacer.
