If a player who is 24 who has been in the international circuit for just a year and has only played 3 test matches bowling just handful of overs in those and who is in a developing phase needs a rest  then good luck to Indian cricket. 

He has bowled more overs than any in LOI cricket since Champions trophy.

Please play kuldeep in all games, bowling long spells will help his control 

Will gain nothing by playing rohit at 6, he is lost cause in test cricket. He ll score runs against this poor side and will wacked in overseas. 

 

We shud go with 3 spinners and kuldeep shud be in 11

I think chahal is better wrist spinner than kuldeep

The evil Nexus wants Rohit to score a 100 against weak Lankans and cement his place in the team.  

After lankan series Rohit will get injured so he will not be exposed in South Africa.

was looking forward to Pandya smashing lankan spinners to oblivion

Prediction: Pandya if played in tests against SA would come out as our dark horse.(Applies to bowling only. Batting, I don't know.)

Shryeas Iyer has tackled bounce and pace rather  well on our last A-tour to SA.

 

I would have given him a chance in this test series with a view to create a middle-order back-up for SA test series.

how quick , bouncy wkts were they???? I think so pitches in SA-A series were on slower side 

When i see iyer my only concern is seam n swing ........specially the ball coming back in. But lets c

They can spin farther than he swing. Good thing he didn’t play. Or else he would have been exposed by Lankans.

or he wud have smashed those bowlers and proved to the world that he is better then any pakistani batsman

Ohh wait he avg 59 in SL in recent series wereas the asad shafiq was the highest run getter against lanka in recent series with avg of 45 playing at home

Can he score a 300 like Azhar Ali in a Test?

Even our benched players like Karun Nair have test 300s, and Azhar Ali is one of your top test bats

Too bad he is not good enough to get into your team. While Azhar Ali is busy breaking records. 

Well, that's the standards set for getting into our test squad.

 

That's the difference between getting into a no.1 ranked and no.7 ranked test team I guess.

I didn't know Pakistani were rated so high, i.e. at 7.

Hardik Pandya rested (and to heal his injured hand). Fair enough.

But no replacement , none whatsoever named by selectors ?

He himself requested to be allowed to rest.

Good.

That's fine, but no replacement , none whatsoever named by selectors ?  Why?

at younger age you need break to avoid injuries ,as you get older you need to play everything

He mentioned he has played more cricket in the last year or two  than he had in his entire life.

Good.

That is very sensible on his part. Some of our mainstays play so much and are so greedy that they don't understand the concept of rest and off season.
