Bring Shubman Gill instead of Pujara in Tests

[nsareen]

There is a lot of hoopla around Cheteshwar Pujara, I'm of the opinion he has technical deficiency & hence struggles outside Asia.

 

I would hope selectors introduce Shubman as early as possible, he would learn the most in the International circuit.

 

Moreover Pujara is a snail & Gill has a tempo to his battihg & would not be bogged down & take 50-60 balls to get off the mark.

Thoughts?

Nope, Indian cricket is the cricket equivalent of English Premier League: India is boring and lacking in IQ.

 

As Pujara is the more defensive batsman, he deserves his spot in Test cricket over Shubman Gill. Limited overs may be different

Shubhman Gill is not even in the 4-day A-team squad.

Pujara is one of our premier test batsmen

Need to follow process.

 

Seriously speaking, if he fails, this should be his last tour and he should be banished to home tests only.  But that would require national selectors & others to understand diff between home & away batting

He looks a class player, sometimes risks have to be taken with unique players.

Shubman Gill has to become more defensive if he wants to play Test cricket

He is already in the 'A' squad!! Knowing Rahul Dravid, I'm hoping he can push for his case.

I would have chosen Shubhman Gill in the 4-day A-team series that has just ended and the one that is coming up shortly. But neither has happened.

Raina and Rayudu did not have to perform in either List A or A-team games to be chosen in the ODI squads.

They are making comebacks.You have to earn your cap.

Unwillingness to identify or back special young talent has been the biggest issue with both this selection committee and our Team management.

 

I don't think Gill is ready for test cricket ... but could have been fast tracked to the 4-day A team to gain experience.

What makes you think Gill is ready for test cricket.It is way too early for him, there is no point in scarring him for rest of his life and ruining a budding career.

1 )  And why should you not earn your comebacks, if it is after a big gap  ?

 

2)  What is the harm in fast tracking a special talent to the A team  ?

Agreed & this brings out a question, Are the selectors really efficieny, or they are riding on the Indian Teams performance for this long?

In the recent memory no young player has been bought in the test matches, we have only seen Washington Sundar entering the T20 team directly.

I've been following cricket for 24+ years to have some sense of instinct which tells me he is different.

Obviously he can fail & so can I, but as I said sometimes failure teaches a lot, if he keeps succeeding in domestic for a couple of years & fails in internationals he would have to learn from scratch the nuances of international cricket.

He might be different but he has played just two fc matches that too against a very weak opponents.I am all for backing young talent but I don't want ruin them either.The step up in quality is unimaginable and there is no need to rush him at this juncture.I have seen Shaw and co, I don't think they are ready to take on Anderson.
