MANISH PANDEY
Manish Pandey is a right-hand middle-order batsman who was part of India's Under-19 squad that won the World Cup in Malaysia in 2008. He didn't get many opportunities to bat during the tournament because of India's strong top-order but impressed with his attacking stroke-play and athletic fielding. His favourite batsman is Matthew Hayden, whom he admires for his confidence at the crease. Pandey would like to join the army, like his father, if he is unable to become a professional cricketer.
