If he is not selected in the squad,than it is clear that it is not for cricketing reasons. express bowling, Gollum, UrmiSinhaRay and 5 others 2 6 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Don't think Saha has much cricket left in him. He gets injured too often and will be 34 in 4 months . Edited July 16, 2018 by rkt.india Suhaan, cowboysfan and UrmiSinhaRay 1 2 Link to comment

Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Not necessarily a bad thing, though is it? We have Kishan & Pant as ready made replacements for Mr. Phony and the test keeper. The more exposure they get at FC level, the better it'd be for our test side. We still have to kick former Captain cool though, since he won't retire on his own & Kohli is his sugarbabe.

Gollum Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Why Parthiv and not Pant? What do selectors see in that useless good for nothing moron? Worst cricketer to have donned a test jersey and I am being very polite. Edited July 16, 2018 by Gollum beetle, UrmiSinhaRay, Suhaan and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment
chewy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Pappu is probably packing his kit and booking his tickets to London Heathrow just about now The super sub legend lives on, will now return to the land where it all started for him Vilander, UrmiSinhaRay, velu and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment
Shunya Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Saha is too brittle, gets injured almost every few months even though he is playing only 1 format. Probably feeling the brunt of being a keeper. DK and Pappu will continue to be rotated. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
ThePhenomenal1 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 DK as middle order bat, has experience in english conditions and should be good enough to score late order runs. pant should be in the squad for LOIs, dont know if he needs to be for test. But we need backup keepers who are young so pant/ishan could do the job. GolGappe and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
UrmiSinhaRay Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I do think Pant will get his test debut now-but given the senior team management's inclinations, I do not think that is happening unless he signs with Cornerstone/ any of Sajdeh's pet agencies like Reliance.

SUMO Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Parthiv should be picked, he debuted in 2002. Experience matters guys Link to comment

Now he has to bat n keep really badly to screw his chance Pant gets picked because he is better than that Srikar Bharat and because Dravid likes him. Question is: is Pant a part of Kohli/Dhoni's inner circle?Obvious answer is no.He will probs be the 2nd keeper but I don't think he will actually play unless and until Kartik performs really bad. Likes of Sid Kaul and Chahar gets chances because they are friends with Kohli and Dhoni respectively. Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Link to comment

He was in good form, but it was mentioned that he should not be selected in the playing 11 & should be treated as standby UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
