Praveen Kumar ,Hussey, Hauritz to Miss ICC World Cup Cricket 2011

Australia and India suffered setbacks ahead of the World Cup 2011 as both teams lost important players to injuries.
India will have to manage without the services of Praveen Kumar who has been ruled out due to an elbow injury
and will be replaced by Sreesanth
The decision comes a day after Praveen underwent a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore to measure whether he had recovered from the injury sustained before the start of the one-day series in South Africa last month. 
Praveen has been a regular with the Indian one-day side for the past couple of years and was set to be a certain starter in the World Cup, but his injury healed too slowly to allow him to participate in the global tournament. 
Sreesanth  has played only 51 one-dayers in more than five years since his debut in 2005, and has a bloated career economy rate of 6.01. But he proved effective in the two ODIs he's played over the past 12 months, bagging seven wickets for 77 runs. 

Australia’s face was worse than India’s. The Aussie team suffered a double blow as both Michael Hussey and Nathan Hauritz failed to get the requisite fitness clearance. 
Michael Hussey and Nathan Hauritz, would miss the mega event. Both players were part of the 15-member squad for the World Cup, but Cricket Australia (CA) has applied to exclude their names from the list.
The injuries will provide an opportunity for Callum Ferguson and Jason Krejza, who will be the replacements for the mega event. However, the pair wasn’t the selectors first choice, as Shaun Marsh and Xavier Doherty were set to replace the injured players.

India’s Fortune in bowlers' hands

The Indian team will take the hopes of millions of fans to the 2011 World Cup, who is waiting in expectation for another victory in this show piece.
The World Cup has eluded them since 1983 and on paper the Indian side wears an alarming look today.
Independently, every Indian player in the squad is a superstar; but to win a major tournament the team needs a combined effort.
They have a batting line-up which can make any country pompous. Virender Sehwag, a shock for any bowler on his day, and the in-form Gautam Gambhir, one among the finest openers in the game, are competent of giving India the electrifying start.
They are followed by five batsmen who can beat any bowling stabbing in the world….Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
These seven from the top are specialists in one-day cricket, having proved their caliber through some memorable knocks that have left many opponents amazed.
All that would be required of them is a partnership either at the top or in the middle that can accelerate the run rate to out-of-the-way magnitude.
If these seven are not enough to enlarge the total, there is even Harbhajan Singh, who has been quite effective as a hard-hitter these days. Even the pacers down to the last man are no rabbits with the bat. But the big question is: Can a team win based only on its batting potency?
Big weaknesses
India's bowling is their big weakness. Their pace attack is not accurate unlike others and have many a times struggled to contain batsmen, both at the start and even in the closing stages.
It is worth recalling here that India's 1983 World Cup winning team power was their exact medium pacers. Though it may be argued sub-continent wickets mainly assists spinners and that India will be able to contain the batsmen through their spin attack, but if two opposing batsmen at the top or a hard-hitting lower order batsman turns aggressive, then the Indian pacers will have to rise to the challenge to stem the run flow.
A huge total, if not backed by effective bowling, can upset any plan.
There are many who believe that India will be tough to beat at home, but one should not forget that India's World Cup record in the sub-continent has not been impressive.
Earlier on both occasions when the World Cup was held in the sub-continent, they failed to go past the semi-finals. India can make it to the quarter-finals provided they overcome the challenges in the knock-out stage on their home grounds.
So a winning start in the World Cup, in the first match of the tournament on February 19 against Bangladesh, on their home soil becomes very important.

Finally Afridi Decleard As a pakistani captain For ICC World cup 2011


following a lot rumor and extensive apprehensions, the Pakistan Cricket Board appears to have confirmed that Shahid Afridi will indeed, and not Misbah ul Haq, will captain Pakistan going into the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
The Pakistan cricket manager, Intikhab Alam, notified the media that Afridi has been retained as Pakistan’s ODI captain, a matter that was not considered a conviction at the start of the Pakistan New Zealand ODI series.
With the PCB not having named the captain whereas naming Pakistan’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 squad, rumours were common that indeed Afridi’s position was in danger by the upswing of results under Misbah ul Haq as the Pakistan Test captain.
The overdue decision then of naming the captain led to reprimand all round about create an impression of shakiness with the team with less than a month for the World Cup. However, the decision may have ultimately been prompted by common sense that suggested that it was best not to change guard at the eleventh hour of such an important tournament as also, the fact that Pakistan were able to overwhelm the hosts to win the Pakistan New Zealand series.
Misbah was considered a severe competitor in the manner in which he led Pakistan against South Africa and now against New Zealand. However, with the tournament nearly upon the players, it did not make sense to off set preparations that have been in place for a while now.
Shahid Afridi has now been confirmed, which means Pakistan cricket has one less motive to.
