Reports: India want four more fast bowlers to accompany the team to South Africa

[Ankit_sharma03]

Now, the Indian team management has asked the BCCI for four more pacers to assist the Indian batsmen in the nets. According to reports, the team management has identified four young pacers, Mohammed Siraj, Basil Thampi, Navdeep Saini and Avesh Khan to travel with Virat Kohli and co.

According to the same reports, sources close to BCCI revealed that the request has been made by the team management keeping in mind the workload of the pacers in the actual squad. Adding to this, the youngsters will also learn a lot by travelling with the team, something that will come in handy whenever get the nod.

"It will serve a double purpose. The young pacers will learn a lot by travelling with the team and bowling to international batsmen. It will also reduce the workload of our pacers in the nets. The request is to keep them for at least three weeks," the source told.

I really dont know. In a perfect world I would look at the data from India A tours (not Ranji) and make a determination. IPL is very good metrics too but overall it is a step in right direction.

You need swing bowlers Period. Preferably an outswing bowler. Outswing bowlers thoroughly enjoy in SA. Just picking same type of bowlers will be of no use. I would rather go with Kuldeep.

Puri Barath le kar jaaoge kya? Already 17 players+support staff.

 

Arrange for a bowling machine

You want these 4 bówlers to travel to SA for 3 months without a chance to play for a single game.

Excellent move if true, at least someone is honest and working hard in bcci.

[King Tendulkar]

Just picked fastest 4 and ignore all other so called data. If one of them kicks on job done

In SA, one primarily needs accurate seam bowlers to be most effective.

Very good initiative by the team management.

Good job BCCI. Get the feeling that bhuvi is very close to being injured again. Bumrah looks overworked. 

[Sooda]

The likelihood is That Thampi and Siraj will be in the squad for the LOI leg of the tour too

There are enough data points for kaul and Unadkat so I would not mind those.

 

My personal preference would be someone who can bowl three consecutive deliveries at 90 mph. After that everything could be taught but speed is hard to teach control is easy.

These guys are demanding a lot day by day. Not many are expecting them to win but if they don't even put up a fight, expect some serious boots up their arses.
