    "editor1": "<p><strong>July 2 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> Former India batsman Mohammad Kaif said on Tuesday that his only problem with Mayank Agarwal being called up as a replacement for the injured Vijay Shankar for the ongoing World Cup is the lack of matches the 28-year-old Karnataka batsman has under his belt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>\r\n&quot;The only problem I have is whether you&#39;re playing regularly or whether you&#39;re in touch,&quot; said Kaif.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking on the sidelines of a Major League Baseball event in the national capital, the 38-year-old said that the same concern surrounded the selection of Rishabh Pant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You have to see how many matches they have played regularly and whether they are in touch. It&#39;s the same with Pant... He was last involved in a pressure game in May. Since then he has been part of only practice sessions in the UK. That is the only problem... They won&#39;t be in touch with the conditions so much,&quot; said Kaif.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agarwal is yet to make his ODI debut, although he was impressive in his debut Test series during India&#39;s historic victory in Australia earlier his year.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kaif also said that one shouldn&#39;t read too much into India&#39;s recent loss against hosts England. Chasing a target of 338, India were restricted to 306\/5.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They&#39;ve just lost one game and that&#39;s fine. Any team can lose one game. India had a bad day and England played well. They are the tournament favourites, so this kind of performance is expected from them,&quot; he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;India have a balanced side, the players are in form. There are injury concerns and that doesn&#39;t help. But I think we have good backups.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
