Popular Post express bowling Posted July 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2017 An excerpt from an article in the Telegraph -- " Sourav Ganguly said on Saturday that youngsters should be given a chance in the Indian cricket team if at all there are plans of dropping some of the seniors. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 54 off 114 balls during the fourth ODI against West Indies last Sunday, which India lost by 11 runs, drew flak from the critics. Captain Virat Kohli, though, after the series win on Thursday backed the former captain to the hilt. "Where are the youngsters getting a chance? I feel in the fifth ODI we should have played Rishabh Pant. If we do not give these players a chance then how will they get international exposure? "First, let them get enough experience. Then we can think of phasing out the seniors," the CAB president, who turned 45 on Saturday, said.

vvvslaxman Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 These are some of the obvious things. It is understandable giving respect to illustrious careers of experienced players. But not by way of giving continuous chances to them. Quote nevada, MCcricket, Tendu_10 and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Tibarn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think some of the blame is on the selectors. If they don't select the older players in the squad, then the captain can't select them. Fill the squad up with extra youngsters, and then the choice comes down to only youngsters. wanted_desi, Ironhide and beetle 3 Link to comment

We know that cricket culturally it is difficult for us to drop senior players, especially legend types, so it's hard to expect a younger captain to drop players senior to him, especially when it will be viewed as an act of disrespect. This is why I am more hopeful of selectors making a difference, they are immune from criticism from the general public, as most normal cricket fans wouldn't even know their names. Link to comment

jusarrived Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 "First, let them get enough experience. Then we can think of phasing out the seniors," My problem is exactly this , there are so many open spots and tours like these against WI where we should be giving match practice to these guys . you just cant drop all your seniros and fill up 3-4 slots with youngsters . Rohit was "rested" and Yuvis position was vacant , so we had an opportunity to try out likes of Pant and Rahul , since KL was not fit may be some other middle order bat may be even samson or Iyer . if these players do well , bring in the next set may be in 6-12 months as Dhoni and other middle order spots replacement . The way we are going now , we are going to be in the exact same situation even after 2 years and even of Dhoni is out of the team I will not be surprised if Saha takes his spot rather than Pant .

mishra Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 58 minutes ago, New guy said: I want Dhoni to speak and retire. Will he? MSD is subordinate to Kohli. Tendulkar is still a very accomplished person and will be valued far more if he casts his vote. He had no issues when he said along with kumble that India should participate in CT. So in all honesty he can speak his mind if he wants to. Either for or against I will accept it. But issue that Kohli ruining chances of several indian prospects for word cup is equally grave if not more than CT participation Link to comment
