Is India missing a left arm seamer in this series?

Aniket Choudhary would have been a good option. He was called to bowl in the Indian team nets. But don't know why he is not in the selectors radar these days. He was not part of the India A team that toured England too.

India should atleast have a left armer in the side to practice in the nets. They got run over by Amir, the new bowler from Australia, Boult usually troubles us and now by this Curran

The great West Indian team of the 1980s and  the great Australian team of 1994 to 2007 ...  neither had any left arm pacers.

 

South Africans have had very strong pace attacks since 1991 ... but no left arm pacers either.

 

Left arm pacers are not mandatory unless a good bowler is available.

Khalil Ahmed looks quite impressive has pace and similar action to Starc but current coaching regime is a joke wish we had a proper coaching staff so he can progress farther.Please keep Unadkat away from the Indian team

Just shows the Falling standardsof this batting lineup These guys have played well against likes of Starc and Johnson particularly Rahane.

Not in swinging conditions.

It did swing at Sydney and Starc was getting reverse in India.

Not the same as England. Reverse swing is different and more than swing, it is seam movement that is more difficult to negotiate.

because of angle they create against leftarmers they can be a very good choice though.

Khaleel has progressed well as a 50-over and T20 pacer.  But needs to play some FC.  He is not remotely ready for test matches.

Definitely, if a good left armer is available.

 

As of today, we may see Unadkat replacing Shami or Bumrah in test matches if left armer is sought by team management.  :phehe:

not carrying on with Aniket has been puzzling. he is as tall as Starc, bowls good pace and swings the ball in. No, idea why he has been neglected.  would have been thousand times better than Shardul.

I find it strange too. He did decently on his last A tour but fell off the radar completely after that.  

 

I wonder if fitness issues have something to do with it.

 

Moreover, I don't know why we are in general so apathetic to tall bowlers with good pace.

And we don't even have lot of left armers who are ready and are suited for the longer format. So its even more baffling why he is not on the radar of the selectors. He should have been there in the A teams atleast.
