    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, April 16 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>Picked in the 15-man World Cup squad ahead of Rishabh Pant, stumper-batsman Dinesh Karthik said that it was a dream come true to be part of India&#39;s World Cup team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am very excited. It has been a dream for me to be a part of this team for a long time now,&quot; Karthik said on Monday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As a team, we have done some special things and I have been through that journey and I have really wanted to be a part of this team,&quot; he told www.kkr.in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Karthik returned to India&#39;s World Cup squad after 12 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to five-member selection panel headed by MSK Prasad, Karthik&#39;s experience of 91 ODIs gave him the edge over Pant who is still young and inexperienced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking during the post selection conference on Monday evening, Prasad said: &quot;We were all in unison that either Pant or DK will come in only when Mahi is injured. In an important game, wicket-keeping is also important. That&#39;s the reason we went with Dinesh Karthik.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Pant is full of talent. There&#39;s a lot of time for him. It&#39;s just unfortunate that he&#39;s missed out. Under pressure, we have seen Dinesh Karthik finishing matches. That scored for him.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The World Cup starts in England and Wales on May 30.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
