Why the hell Pandey is selected? This guy can't even face bowlers in IPL and he will face Pak bowlers

He was not out in the quad series with Aus-A and SA-A. In the whole tournament, where were you?

Rajpoot has been really impressive but sadly I see most if them coming into play next year after the WC  if Bcci is keen to build towards the future.

 

Saini maybe the best all-condition pacer we have on the bench for test matches.

 

We must give him some actual game time in tests.

I will be honest with you I don’t follow the domestic tournaments like you or @rkt.india do so I hope Saini is selected soon.

Saini was selected in the squad for the test match against Afghanistan.

 

But Ishant and Umesh were in the playing 11.

Was he the one who praised Gambhir in his interview and Gambhir taking pot shots at Bedi and co?Actually I confused him with the left arm pacer who played for Rcb thought he was selected.

[sandsaims]

Selectors making sure they dont select batsmen who are below the age of 30

[PSB_Zone]

I think we can still carve out a descent x1 inspite of the selection ....

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Rahul

Manish

Jadhav

Pandya

Dhoni

Bhuvi

Kuldeep

Chahal

Bumrah

 

A chance to luk rohit as captain...jadav does not stalls the game and tht is one positive abt it...Indian get the opportunity to fight without kohli...So it will build the team and less dependency on kohli.

 

This x1 is gud for slow and sluggish pitch in uae

Yes.

[Franco Vazquez]

Akash Chopra keeps on talking about why Pandey, Jadhav are still in the team, Why doesn't he talk about Dhoni?

[Straight Drive]

Pandey is world class in fielding. But then he has flopped badly as an international batsman. Must be very lucky to still be in the squad.

[Straight Drive]

Shocking that Rishabh Pant is still ignored for a format which he is more suited to.

Will be fired then and fans and other pundits will criticise him heavily.

As long as washerman is around, no picking potential long term replacements 

 

Middle Order continues to be a worry. Hope one of Rohit/Rahul acts as an anchor the way Kohli often does. Dhoni doing that role is just a caravan ride from some centuries back.

Pant wont get a look in ODI and T20 matches as long as Dadaji is still there.. 

This is insane, just because of these proven failures we have lost all world events since 2013 still these brain *ed are continuing with same set of looseers based on their past reputation. Why we are ready to sacrifice world events one after another just to give farewell to an old *ed and some ttf bhaichara brigade.

Not surprised at Pandey, Rayudu and Jadhav’s inclusions. Saw it coming. Guess one of them will face the axe when Kohli comes back, the other two will stay.

 

Jadhav is likely picked as the sixth bowling option in the WC XI

 

Why Axar? Why does this guy always have to be picked despite doing nothing. Would have liked to see Krunal, Sundar or even Gowtham in his place.

 

Dhoni again. Less said the better. But looks like we are stuck with him till WC 2019. 

 

Would have also liked liked to see Bumrah rested for a young pacer - Mavi, Nagarkoti or Saini. Why bother your most talented bowler in some useless tour with flat pitches.  Save him for more important ones.

Why Raydu is in team. Even in first class games he is playing at the SR of 65. Even Dravid was not this slow during his time.This is absolute nouncence to have Pandey,Dadu and Briyani in same lineup.

I am still ok with Manish Pandey, but what the hell is Rayudu and Jadhav doing in the team, Manish is a brilliant fielder he will save few boundaries at point but these hacks like Rayudu and Jadhav are good for nothing. Shamefull team selection. Must be the oldest team in the tournament. 

[Sgattick10]

Might as well have selected Undercutter oh wait we have Axar in his place quickish spin option.

ok nice, went by the previous comments. 

why kohli taking vacation again

Well looking at test series, he won't be getting chances in playing eleven anyway. Ambati biryani Rayudu would be preferred over him.

Well, I said it wasn’t surprising because he was picked for the England tour in the first place and then dropped due to the yo-yo and fitness issues. Just a matter of time before he came back again. He or Jadhav will be preferred over Pandey as they give the sixth bowling option

[motomaverick]

Same old recycled shyte. Raina, Umesh and Kaul dropped and replaced with Rayudu, Jadhav and Pandey.

 

And why is Dhoni still in the team? We are not going to make the final this time.
