With Team India's squad for the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup yet to be announced, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly made his pick for Team India's wicketkeeping batter.

Ganguly feels Ishan Kishan should be chosen for both the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup.

Pant is the best wicketkeeper in the country, but you can see Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul (depending on his fitness); these two will be right up in Rohit's and Rahul's minds. I like Ishan Kishan because he just opens up the game for any team. I am sure Dravid will keep him in his plans," Ganguly said at an event.

Ganguly also suggested that the squad should have a balance of experience and young stars.

"It has to be a team of experience and people who don't have any scars like Jaiswal, Varma, Ishan Kishan. They can go and play fearless cricket. Rahul (Dravid), Rohit and the selectors have plenty of choices; they just have to identify and pick the best XI," he said.

Ishan has played 17 ODIs for Team India so far, scoring 694 runs at an average of 46.26.
