Pakistan dropped Hafeez from the team and here we brought back Rayudu/Jadhav

[Austin 3:!6]

Asia cup squad announced for Pakistan today and they have dropped their experience player Hafeez for youngsters like Shan Masood and U19 WC star Shaheen Shah Afridi. If you recall, Hafeez was instrumental in propelling Pak's score to 300+ in CT finals but their selectors did not gave preference to past performances.

 

And here we are not only sticking with Dhoni but bringing back even more oldies like Karthik, Jadhav, raydu etc. Not a single youngster like Agarwal, Pant, Shaw, Gill, Iyer, Washington, Krunal etc got a chance.

 

What is so wrong with our selectors? How can they be so incompetent and blind?

[Sgattick10]

This selection squad is the worst of all time, chhoti aukad ke khiladi... chhoti aukad ki soch.

Rayudu

Dhoni

Jadhav / Raina

 

 

If this our middle order then I would rather watch some other sport and not cricket.

Wondering how did we got so bad. If I recall, our selectors are very prompt in removing likes of Ganguly,VVS, Sehwag, Gambhir etc in the past for youngsters. But now we are just going backwards.

Kedar Jadhav's overall figures may look good ... but he has been poor against the big teams barring one series against England.

 

Plus he is a poor fielder.

Rayudu has a strike rate of 76 in this day and age ... and his apparently impressive average dips to 38 if we exclude Zim and Afghanistan.

 

Why would we pick a 76 SR  batsman  ?

Difficult to fathom selection of Rayudu  for the Asia Cup and Raina in England.

 

IPL performances are influencing ODI selections ... but these are 2 separate formats and require different skillsets.

 

Kaul and Umesh got in the ODI squad to England based on IPL performances too.

 

And Jadhav's ODI performances against top teams are being missed.

[Straight Drive]

Oldies being played in international level so that the franchisees will get some benefit by their contracted players being mathc fit and perhaps in form for IPL ?

[Rasgulla]

Rayudu has average of 50. Poor guy never got his chances just because he isn't from north. 

[speedheat]

They have tall left arm genuinely fast shaheen shah afridi, kid is one of the brightest  emerging  young talent in internationals with endless potential, don't know if he is selected or not but if he plays along with amir and hassan our middle over uncles will be doomed.

[Kohlifan]

Our selectors are playing musical chair, they will select these TTF again till 2019 WC.

[Hell Raiser]

If Afghanistan makes it to the next round. It will be very interesting to see their spinners against Dhoni kaka and rayudu.
