A 5 specialist bowlers is a must as we don't have the services of our best bowlers in Bumrah and Kumar and Pandya need to sit this one out or else we will start off this series with 0-1. 

He’s an all rounder plus the cheerleader and captain rate him highly I definitely see him playing the first test.

Hardik being an batting all-rounder should be able to bat at 6. The remaining 5 have to be specialist bowlers imo.

So you think we'll play Hardik and 5 specialist bowlers

The above 5 bowlers should be the main strike bowlers for India. Part time shyt show Pandya has no place in the adults playground. he is not good enough to buy wickets.

You never know. Depends on what approach Virat goes with. However, after the loss against SA in SA, the stigma of under performance in overseas series stays and he would be keen to  get rid of that. Probably that could lead to a positive approach and we might see 5 specialist bowlers.

It makes sense if we have Kumar, Ashwin, Jadeja as 3 of the 5 specialist bowlers. This makes our batting really long, but since Kumar is out there's very little chance of that happening. Also our batting is a worry, major worry atm and we cannot take Anders or Broad lightly, even if this is the hottest summer we'll face in England.

7 + 4 specialist bowlers will be risky as well. Not enough firepower to take 20 wickets every test given the conditions in England prevailing now.

Siraj is in top form.
They should have given him a chance.
He gets overwhelmed in the shorter version of the game ...but would have done well in tests.
 
 

They always pick wrong people for wrong format.

It is a a trend of under staffing the bowling department by picking just 4 specialist bowlers, and when the team fails, blame the bowling for losing the test and drop the bowlers for next test or next series. But most of the seven batsmen will continue to get a free ride, even though they have flopped and over staffed as compared to bowling department. The bowlers are also expected to score runs. The batsman just have to bat whole series with a flop average without even a workload of single over, let alone picking one wicket and still manage to hold on to a place for next series. Tough to be a bowler.

Siraj has been a flop in short format, even in IPL and the few internationals he has played. imo he can be given a chance in longer format at some point of time and see whether he manages to grab the opportunity at test level. Won't write him without trying in longer format on basis of performance in shorter formats. Some cricketers are good in some formats and cant adapt to all formats. Maybe he can adapt to longer format.
