Thampi, Mandeep Singh, Mayank Agarwal, Vohra, Shreyas Iyer, Hooda, Unadcutter, S Kaul, Siraj( :sad: ), Tewatia, R tripathi, etc...

Pretty much , though I was a big fan of Mandeep and even now I think he has everything to be a good test bat for India , but hasnt improved much in recent years . 

 

 

In addition

Kaul and chahar can considered for the T20 squad atleast. Don't you think ?

 

Kaul may do well for our T20I team.

 

 I need to watch Chahar over a longer period of time to form an informed opinion.  As of today, Chahar seems too dependent on conventional swing, which is available only for the first 6 overs or so.

 

Thing is, I am a bit wary of bowlers who are just T20 specialists.  They may sneak in the other formats via their T20 performances ... and they rarely do well there.

 

Finally ... the thread is about players who do not excite us as international prospects ... and I generally do other things and don't watch cricket when Kaul or D.Chahar bowl.

I understand that but that is primarily the stupidity of our selectors isn't it? I mean someone like chahar playing strictly T20's would mean that bhuvi/bumrah would be fresh for tests/ODIs and keep their speeds up instead of playing all formats of cricket + IPL round the year. Atleast that's how it should be imo.

This is a fair point.  T20 specialists in both batting and bowling would help serve the purpose of keeping the big players fresh.

 

Only thing is ... T20 specialists should not spill over to other formats unless they prove themselves in those respective formats while playing for India A.

 

Kaul is more T20 ready than D.Chahar, who is just a PP bowler as of today.

Agreed. Kaul should definitely play the time we play bilateral T20's. And yes agree I would only want players selected based on performances in the respective formats and i certainly won't be happy if IPL players get into the test/ODI squads without performing in India A/Ranji etc.
