Krunal Pandya, Thampi get maiden India A call
 
Krunal Pandya was one of the driving forces of Mumbai's title win in the 2017 IPL

Allrounder Krunal Pandya and medium pacer Basil Thampi have earned maiden call-ups to the India A side, for the tour of South Africa starting next month. Both players have been included in the 16-man one-day squad

 

 :rj:
India A squads
•For the tri-series: Manish Pandey (capt), Mandeep Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, Karun Nair, Krunal Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), Vijay Shankar, Axar Patel,Yuzvendra Chahal, Jayant Yadav, Basil Thampi, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Siddarth Kabul

• For the four-day games: Karun Nair (capt), Priyank Panchal, Abhinav Mukund, Shreyas Iyer, Ankit Bawne, Sudip Chatterjee, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hanuma Vihari, Jayant Yadav, Shahbaz Nadeem, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Aniket Choudhary, Ankit Rajpoot

 

Pandya and Thampi were in excellent form in the 2017 IPL in April-May. Thampi's 11 wickets in his debut season were the second-highest for his team, Gujarat Lions, but it was more his ability to deliver yorkers that caught attention. Pandya established himself as an integral cog in the Mumbai Indians squad that lifted the IPL trophy for a third time, at one point being picked as the sole spinning option over Harbhajan Singh. He finished with 243 runs at 34.71 and struck them at 135.75 to go alongside 10 wickets and an economy rate of under seven.

The squad will be captained by Manish Pandey, who has recovered from the side strain he suffered during the IPL, which kept him out of the Champions Trophy earlier this month.

 

The 15-man squad for the four-day games has batsmen Hanuma Vihari and Sudip Chatterjee, and seamers Ankit Rajpoot and Mohammed Siraj, all of whom have never played first-class cricket for India A. Vihari had a fruitful 2016-17 Ranji Trophy season with Andhra, amassing 688 runs at 57.33, including a double-century. Siraj was Hyderabad's highest wicket-taker in their run to the quarter-final with 41 scalps, while Rajpoot and Chatterjee also enjoyed good returns. Aniket Choudhary, the left-arm pacer from Rajasthan, who took four wickets in a tour game between India A and the visiting Bangladesh team last year, was also included. Karun Nair will lead the first-class team.

The tour kicks off on July 26 with a triangular one-day series, also involving Australia A. India and South Africa will then play two four-day games in August, in Benoni and Potchefstroom.

Who is Sudip Chatterjee? Could Jaggi have taken his place if he was a batsman

Jaggi I think 32.i may wrong.Sudeep has back up of SG 'S PET list.he is good player but Lack form I think lucky selection

Rarely one can say this. Excellent selection.

 

Not complaining but few doubts:

1)Why Jayant in OD? He offers nothing.

2)Why not Nathu in OD in place of Kaul.

 

Rest is perfect.

 

 

Siddhartha Kaul has potentials to walk in Indian senior team,Nathu's good but he already gets chance before so someone new should gets chance unless you are specialist batsman,i am glad Vihari and Panchal selected.

 

Jayant is allrounder class is there forms is temporary

[UpdateA1]

Shardul  should not  with A team someone fresh should gets the nod.

Nathusingh may be injured or he may be in contention for selection.

 

Shankar should have been in the test squad.

 

Pant may be in the squad for the SL series

Pant picked in both format

So this means no Nair or Jayant Yadav for SL! Hitman will be back in test squad to threaten Pujara.

I notices selectors turn to Ishan Kishan good choice because others should gets chance, which was Anurag's (BCCI) plan.I wonder why he was sacked.Anurag wants each Zonal team with different player at all Level of cricket.Good idea.

[SK_IH]

why mandeep singh,why not vohra or tripathi or kishan in his place

[SK_IH]

nitish rana also deserved a chance ahead of mandeep,such a ordinary player getiing selected again n again

Tell me which player marry with BINNY'S sister? I doubt Nair gets selects  again for india.

[SK_IH]

vijay shankar looks like 4-5 slot bat even for 1st class cricket and he is not selected for test matches,pathetic selections 

[The Realist]

Better squad than recent ones but then the benchmark has been pretty low.

 

Don't see the point of Nair and Yadav being selected given they have played tests - what more do you need to find out about them?

 

If Dravid is the A-team coach then the Nair selection can be understood...

He has been consistent in list a tournaments, deserves this chance

I think that's ok, with Rohit back Nair probably isn't in the test squad scheme of things for now, and needs to given A team tours to keep showing What he can do. Especially as he hasn't set the world on fire since his triple Hundred.

The guys selected in his place seem better FC batsmen- Nair, Bawne, Vihari...

I think that was supposed to read "Bunty's" sister ... not "Bunny's" sister.  Rohit Sharma is married to Bunty Sajdeh's sister.

[Sooda]

What about Akhil Herwadkar?

Bunty is virat's agent who's sister is married to rohit mi sharma

i think these one day teams should be selected on basis of ipl, mandeep is not convincing

[sandeep]

No leggie in the "test" squad?   Chahal gets the short end again.   He needs to switch Ranji team out of his state ASAP.
