Rubel Hossain gets bail, to stay
with World Cup squad

Paceman, Rubel Hossain, will remain
part of Bangladesh's World Cup
squad, the BCB said, after he got bail
on Sunday in a case filed by an
actress alleging the cricketer had
failed to carry out his promise of
marriage.

Rubel's participation in the February
14-March 29 tournament in Australia
and New Zealand was in doubt after
a Dhaka court denied him bail on
Thursday. The actress had filed the
complaint with police last month,
alleging the bowler had been in a
relationship with her, which included
physical intimacy.

"We think the merit of the case is
not that strong and for that reason
he got bail from the court,"
Bangladesh Cricket Board president
Nazmul Hassan said on Sunday. "He
will remain in the World Cup squad
and will get all the support from the
board until the World Cup," he
added.

Duncan Fletcher: India can win the World Cup

Duncan Fletcher, India's coach,
believes the team can defend their
ICC World Cup title in Australia and
New Zealand because of the feeling
of continuity between the Test and
ODIs squads as well as their ability
to chase big totals. Ahead of his third
World Cup as a coach, and first with
India, Fletcher referred to India's
unbeaten run during the 2013 ICC
Champions Trophy in England as
signs of the team's capability
overseas.

"I am very excited, especially given
the side we have. I think we are a
good chance to win after the way the
team has been building over the last
three-four years," he told BCCI.TV in
an exclusive interview. "A big reason
for my belief is our Champions
Trophy (2013) victory in England. We
played in very foreign conditions that
didn't suit the side and yet we played
so well that we didn't lose a single
match. That shows that the side is
used to winning and that's really
exciting."

India's squad for the tournament
features only four members of the
2011 side - captain MS Dhoni, Virat
Kohli, Suresh Raina and R Ashwin -
but Fletcher, 66, did not feel that a
relatively young side would be
overawed. "We do want experience.

New fielding restrictions will make World Cup more exciting: Rahul Dravid

New Delhi: Former India captain
Rahul Dravid is expecting next
month's cricket World Cup to be an
aggressive affair as he feels the
revamped ODI rules will push teams
into selecting attacking bowlers over
part-timers.

Speaking to 'ESPNCricinfo', Dravid
said new rules, which mandate five
fielders inside the 30-yard circle at
all times in an innings, will have a
huge impact on how the teams work
out their strategies at the showpiece
event starting February 14.

"With the two new balls, the fast
bowlers will get that level of
assistance up front. The grounds are
bigger too so it won't be that easy to
clear the ropes. I think it will be a
challenge for the captains. For
example, when you have five fielders
in the ring, it's very hard to play a
part-time bowler," Dravid said.

"You are almost being forced to play
five specialist bowlers. That is a real
positive. You are going to be forced
to attack and look for wickets rather
than see part-timers bowl for a large
period of play," he said.

Only two fielders are allowed outside
the circle for the first 10 overs. Just
three fielders are mandated to be
outside the circle during the five
Powerplay overs to be taken by the
batting team before the 40th over.
