tweaker Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 England have named an unchanged squad for their tour of India with their all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson not included in the initial 16-man list for the five-test series, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Tuesday. Anderson, with 463 wickets in 119 matches, is recovering from a shoulder injury and has been left out of the squad for the opening test in Rajkot starting on Nov. 9 and is doubtful for the second test in Visakhapatnam.A recurrence of the injury forced the 34-year-old out of the current series against Bangladesh and his availability for the remaining four tests in India, the world's top-ranked side, will be left to medical staff.That means Jake Ball remains with the squad, which is unchanged from the two-test series in Bangladesh, after he was added to the party. England won the first test by 22 runs on Monday, with the second test beginning in Dhaka on Friday. Squad: Alastair Cook (capt), Moeen Ali, Zafar Ansari, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Jake Ball, Gary Ballance, Gareth Batty, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler (wk), Ben Duckett, Steven Finn, Haseeb Hameed, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes. express bowling 1 Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Here is mine- First XI:-Vijay,Rahul,Pujara,Kohli,Rahane,Rohit,Saha,Ashwin,Jadeja,BK/Mishra(based on the track),Shami. Reserves:- Gambhir,Nair,BK/Mishra,Umesh. No place for Shikhar,Ishant in this squad of 15.I'd bring in Kuldeep if another spinner is required for a cover. tweaker, Lord and sscomp32 3 Link to comment

philcric Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 First we need to decide how many bowlers .. If 4, I'd have Shami, Umesh/Bhuvi, Ash, Jaddu If 5, I'd have Shami, Umesh/Bhuvi, Ash, Jaddu, Kuldeep. Why Kuldeep? Mishra isn't particularly good in longer format and he's not a long term solution to anything anyway. Eng has 5 lefties in their top 7, Kuldeep might be a handful against them. Personally, I'd go with 5 bowlers. Not really weakening our batting by much but strengthening the bowling substantially. Vijay Rahul Pujara * Kohli Rahane Ashwin + Saha Jadeja Kuldeep Bhuvi / Umesh Shami Mosher 1 Link to comment

rkt.india Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I do not see them picking Kuldeep. Jayant Yadav will probably be the extra off spinner to tackle left handers. Link to comment

Yes.....In recent times, I think all our national team inclusions of uncapped and new players have been via the A team ( excluding Zim tour which is like an A tour these days ).

Laaloo Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 When are the squads getting picked? Are Rahul and Bhuvi fit? Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 honestly, I rather have 3 test and 5 odis and maybe 5 T20 matches. Am not a big fan of test matches. Forever Indian, LordPrabhzy and cowboysfan 3 Link to comment
Lannister Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 3 T20s? There's no need to play every damn format for each series. Just alternate between ODIs and T20s with Tests being a regular fixture. cowboysfan, AuxiliA and express bowling 3 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 3 T20s? There's no need to play every damn format for each series. Just alternate between ODIs and T20s with Tests being a regular fixture. T20 are to forget the phainty we get in odis...Same happened in Australia earlier this year. Link to comment

Definitely much better than Aussies in terms of behavior. Stokes is a tool agreed but Root/Cook etc are gentlemen. You have no idea! tweaker 1 Link to comment
Unleashed Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Kuldeep should be included in the squad, considering the number of left handers England usually play in their XI. Mosher 1 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 You don't need 5 bowlers on Indian pitches. If Ashwin and Jadeja don't get wickets for you, then no one else will. It will be 4 bowlers team against Eng. Ankit_sharma03, cowboysfan and tweaker 3 Link to comment

maniac Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 No T20 games in the Nzl series? We have never won a T20 match against Nzl....this would have been our golden oppurtunity Link to comment
