Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The national selection committee are set to announce multiple Indian squads on May 8 for the upcoming one-off Test match against Afghanistan next month along with the team for the limited overs leg of the tour of UK starting June 27 in Dublin. “There will be three squads that will be selected on May 8. The Afghanistan Test is from June 14-18, followed by UK tour that starts with two-match ODI series against Ireland in Dublin. The selectors will also name the India A squad that will tour England in June,” a senior BCCI official told PTI on condition on anonymity. The decision to announce the squad in advance is to ascertain who all are available for the Afghanistan Test with likes of Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma set to miss the historic Test against Afghanistan due to their county commitments. Interestingly not only Afghanistan Test, Kohli is also set to miss the two-match ODI series against Ireland in Dublin starting June 27. Kohli’s last county match will end on June 28. Chesteshwar Pujara, however, will comeback from UK for the Test against Afghanistan and then return back after playing the match as his county side Yorkshire doesn’t have any game during that period. Also, procuring UK visa is another issue for a few players, which has prompted the board to ask the selectors to quickly announce the squad. COA Vinod Rai has already said that in order to ensure a good performance in England, at least six to seven Test specialist will be in England in June with the India A side to acclimatise with the conditions. According to the BCCI official, the Indian A team will have seven regular players from the senior side, including Ajinkya Rahane, Murali Vijay Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya among others. They will be leaving for UK soon after the match against Afghanistan.

Mosher Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Pujara might not play the Afghan test. "Afghanistan is playing versus India and not Virat Kohli. No player (Cheteshwar Pujara especially) will be called back from UK to play versus Afghanistan. Priority is England and to do well there, so, whatever it takes," Rai said." http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/23393365/surrey-confirm-kohli-deal-india-captain-gets-licence-warm-england Lannister and express bowling 2 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Quote Indian A team will have seven regular players from the senior side, including Ajinkya Rahane, Murali Vijay Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya among others. So now i will have to see Rohit Sharma and Blue Hair Bwoy in India A team too. Pathetic, unless they will compete against likes of Shaw and Gill, and best one will be selected for India. Also, no KL Rahul? Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment
tweaker Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Test series against Afghanistan is great opportunity to try out young players , but knowing the selection committee chances of has beens, tried & tested failure, to get selected are more. Mosher 1 Link to comment

tweaker Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think the selection committee will select Unadcat, Karthik, In the squad Link to comment
chewy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Selectors will need to be careful with which batsmen they select Too many guys with poor technique and inability to play spin could be exposed by Afghan spinners Rashid, Mujheer, Nabi Gollum and cowboysfan 2 Link to comment

Purnimageetha Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 VIRAT will be in England in June 2018 for Surrey so he will miss Banglore test vs AfGhanistan.
