Apart from Rinku Singh who is really missing? Selection seems pretty decent apart from Rinku omission. Possible players not picked: KL Rahul (Similar to Kohli/Rohit) Gill (Similar to Kohli/Rohit) Gaikwad (Similar Kohli/Rohit) R Bishnoi India do not pick uncapped players straight for World Cup so the following players were not going to be picked: Riyan Parag Abhishek Sharma

Rohit (C) Kohli SKY Riyan Pirag Dube Pant (WK) R Jadeja Axar Arshdeep S Kuldeep Y Bumrah H Pandya S Samson (WK) Y Chahal Khaleel Ahmed Jaiswal & Gill take over Kohli and Rohit after T20 World Cup 2024.

Similar to Shami, good pace.

Patidar for sure, need to give proper chance.

Need to win next 2 matches with further hammerings to prove your superiority emphatically. Celebrate after making it 4-1.

Siraj needs to fire himself up, needs to produce Lords magic. India are cornered they have no choice but to get wickets.

Has to be Shaw, India is wasting the talent he has, not all conditions in the world are seaming or green, most pitches are flat, need to pick him. Improve your Man Management skills to sort out any disciplinary issues. Possible line up post Rohit & Kohli: Jaiswal Shaw Gill Pant KL Samson (WK)

To be honest, it is a perfect storm for Rohit as captain, I would not be too harsh on him: *Fitness not great (Test record 2nd to Kohli so selectors have to pick) *Age nearly 37 (Test record 2nd to Kohli so selectors have to pick) *Lost WC final In Nov 2023 *Lost MI captaincy recently *1st Choice players missing from Test Line Up: Pant, Kohli, Shami, KL, Jadeja

I think main guy is Rohit, if he rediscovers his form than we will see more one sided wins

Alternatives: Wicket Keepers: Sanju Samson (Why is he never in contention for Tests, good FC record, skilful batsmen) Ishan Kishan (Now is the time to give him an extended run, sort out any external issues for the greater good of Indian cricket)

Slow pitch + Mukesh = recipe for disaster

Play them both: Rohit (C) Jaiswal Gill Patidar S Iyer S Khan KS Bharat (WK) Axar Ashwin Kuldeep Yadav Bumrah

Sweep and reverse sweep is for limited batsmen from outside Asia. Indian batsmen need re discover using their feet in attack and defence. Look at someone like VVS or Sehwag. I am sure BCCI can arrange a sort camp. Also need to play against the spin sometimes, truly gifted players like Sehwag used to do this, this will mess up the line and length of spinner and field setting of captain. Also this England batting line up may score quickly but it is definitely ugly to watch, no artistry whatsoever. Only good player to watch is Ben Stokes. This is why it is so frustrating as follower of Indian cricket, the gulf in talent (India has the most talented batsmen) is hugh but the mental toughness is lacking in crunch moments for Indian Team.
