India will most likely have an 18-man squad as it is a 5 test series

[UrmiSinhaRay]

Team is already chosen-probably Rishabh Pant will get a look in

What are the chances of Shaw making a wildcard entry if he slams a century tonight? Personally, I think he's primed for a test debut.

Given how Kohli treats youngsters, Shaw will debut after Rohit retires.

Wouldn't be surprised if Raina makes a test comeback too at this point. Anything's possible.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Pant and Shaw should be in the team not Rohit.



Pujara couldnot buy a run in county cricket.

Even Vijay is iffy.

Bekar phaltu time waste. Just go home already!!

Pretty sure the bewda kaptaan combo and the dolt selectors will select rohit ,dhawan ,pappu patel .

We'll see more dropped catches ,more pretenders in our batting order and more humiliation 

[Austin 3:!6]

I hope they select Prithvi Shaw.

[SecondSlip]

Bigger chance of has-been Gambhir being in the team instead of Shaw under Captain Kohli

Shaw batted brilliantly today against Eng A against the likes of Woakes, Curran etc at a strike rate of 70+. The same game where Vijay, Nair got out cheaply and Rahane struggling. It will be criminal to keep Shaw out of the team.

That will take another 10 yr and Shaw will be 28

With a captain-coach combo like this, we can expect a long series.

 

Am certain that even if Shaw and Pant are picked, they will never make it to the XI.

You never know in 5 match series, after 0-3 down, it can happen.
