T20 revamp should start right now

[vvvslaxman]

We don't want these old guys hanging around. We won 2007 world T20 with youngsters. We should continue adopting that strategy

 

Iyer, Shaw, Pant, Gill, Shivam DUbey,  Isan Kishan, Markhende, etc. 

 

I don't even want Dhawan here. May be Rohit can just captain. or hand over the captaincy to Iyer.

Not going to happen till the end of WC 2019 as T20s are also being used to evaluate / try players for the WC

I understand. But that serves nothing. ODI means you build innings and go after bowling in the backend. In T20 you have to be switched on from the get go. None of these guys are capable of that.

We are seeing who can come and do that for such situations in ODIs. IPL is plenty of time to recognize such players, and after WC, plenty of time to revamp completely.

Players could fine tune their hitting abilities .... on flat tracks, players may have to take more chances .... now there are only 5 T20s before the WC so we have nothing to lose by using them to fine tune the WC squad

For WCT20 2020 team is more or less ready already.

 

Dhawan

rohit

kohli

gill/shaw/rahul

pant

krunal/successful ipl allround option

h.pandya

bhuvi/shami

bumrah

kuldeep

chahal

[Suhaan]

T20 must not feature both of Rohit, Dhawan

Rohit has a habit of taking time,you don't want it in huge chases

Dhawan is just getting into a phase where everyone starts to go downhill

So time is ripe to launch a complete rewamp of our loi setup,i think selectors are also well aware of that

Atleast ,by now, they should have introduced Iyer,Kishan,Shaw  in t20s

Art of playing t20 cricket has completely changed from what it used to be  a decade ago

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Revamp? There is every chance of Dhoni staying on till T20 WC in 2020. Will be just 15 months after the WC. Dhoni could possibly retire from ODIs to ensure he shamelessly sticks around for 2020.

 

These oldies will want to play each and every match. They are going nowhere.

 

A young squad of Shaw, Rahul, Pant, Iyer, Gill, Hardik, Krunal, Kuldeep, Chahal, Mavi, Rajpoot, Ishan Kishan, Vihari, Khaleel and Gowtham/Gopal will do no worse than the current bunch

That leech Dhoni isn't going anywhere.

2020 WT20? Even by Dhoni standards that might be quite far fetched

[Clarke]

Agree. If we aren't trying in T20, which other format to do so? 

 

These budhao moron selectors aren't capable of understanding T20 requirements. They'll just recycle Unadkat based on Ranji form & bring back players like Manish Pandey.

In 2014, who would have thunk Dhoni could be playing 2019 WC as a 38 year grandpa?

 

His PR mafia isn't letting him go anywhere. Too much commercial interest tied to him playing for India. As I said, he will probably stop playing ODIs after WC to ensure he gets to play another T20 WC, his favorite format.

That is our hope but be ready to suffer more of this seniority nonsense. 'Pant is not ready for the T20 WC' crap will be used a s a defense.

Never say never.

If we win 2019 WC, they will say Dhoni still has fuel left in the tank.

If we flop in 2019 WC, 2020 WT20 will be the redemption story for the man who started the T20 revolution. Suddenly 5000 days anniversary since Misbah scoop, the Joginder gamble, Untold Story-II...all sorts of PR management will hit the stands. In fact I think he may call it a day after 2021 WT20 in India (10 years after 2011 ), in front of home crowd....Indians are gullible fools and the media, TM, selectors, administrators etc are compromised. 

This is more WWE and less cricket.

T20 team should be based on performance in IPL. I think IPL is the most important metrics to go by for any format.
