So what did we gain from picking Parthiv Patel ahead of Rishab Pant?


Recommended Posts

instead of looking forward & selecting Pant, Kishan, Samson the selection committee selected Parthiv  & Karthik.

 

The team management may have thought if the young Keepers perform,than they may have to be selected in the odi & T20 squad.

 

Now they can shout there are no ready made wicket keeper available in the domestic cricket.

 

The have completely ignored Ojha after his good showing in A matches.He would have been better than Parthiv  & Karthik.

In all fairness You can’t expect 19 year olds to make debut in a series like this...groundwork should have been laid by exposing them to international cricket through limited overs cricket.

 

Now I am not saying the solution to that is going back to TTF’s when your keeper is injured,should have gone with someone like Ojha

Why couldn't have Pant debuted in the England test series.

 

He was just coming of a Ranji season where he scored 1000 runs and full of confidence.

Pant and Kishan or whichever youngster identified should have started playing international cricket from 2015 or 2016 onwards as an understudy to MSD and Saha.

 

We messed up plenty of chances before of trying them, outrage of them not debuting in a series like this is a little too late.

I said should have debuted them in the England home tour.

Parthiv is every bit as spectacular now as he was when he was 19.

But even if you think Pant is too young, is Parthiv patel really the 2nd best wicket keeper over the age of 25 in all of India? It just seems like a lazy selection by the selectors who probably didn't expect Saha to get injured which is why they had no back up keeper in the Squad(patel was in the reserves i believe.) 

 

This is like that debacle when they picked Saha as a specialist batsman in a test match but this is worse because they had time to fix it before the 3rd test but didn't.
