Rahane, Ashwin and Karthik to play Deodhar Trophy

[Mosher]

Dinesh Karthik, who was dropped from the Indian ODI team to face West Indies, has been made captain of the India A team for the Deodhar Trophy which begins in Delhi on October 23. He leads a team that includes attacking opener Prithvi Shaw, Test spinner R Ashwin, batsman Karun Nair and allrounder Krunal Pandya.

 

Ajinkya Rahane will lead India C, where he will have Suresh Raina and Shubman Gill for company. Also part of the 14-member squad is Washington Sundar, who injured his ankle in June on India's tour of the UK. The 19-year old offspinner has only recently returned to playing cricket, picking up four wickets in three matches for Tamil Nadu in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

 

Shreyas Iyer will captain India B, which includes Mayank Agarwal, the Karnataka opener who remains uncapped despite being called up to India's Test squad. Most of their firepower appears to be in the bowling department. They have a swing bowler in Deepak Chahar, a left-arm quick in Jaydev Unadkat for variation and Varun Aaron for outright pace. Also part of the roster is legspinner Mayank Markande. The 20-year old had a successful debut season in the IPL in 2018, picking up 15 wickets in 14 innings at an economy rate of 8.3. Since then he has also been picked to play for India A in one-day cricket.

 

 

India A: Dinesh Karthik (capt & wk), Prithvi Shaw, Anmolpreet Singh, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ankit Bawne, Nitish Rana, Karun Nair, Krunal Pandya, R Ashwin, Shreyas Gopal, S Mulani, Mohammed Siraj, Dhawal Kulkarni, Siddarth Kaul

 

India B: Shreyas Iyer (capt), Mayank Agarwal, Rituraj Gaekwad, PS Chopra, Hanuma Vihari, Manoj Tiwary, Ankush Bains (wk), Rohit Rayudu, K Gowtham, Mayank Markande, Shahbaz Nadeem, Deepak Chahar, Varun Aaron, Jaydev Unadkat

 

India C: Ajinkya Rahane (capt), Abhinav Mukund, Shubman Gill, R Samarth, Suresh Raina, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan (wk), Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Rahul Chahar, Pappu Roy, Navdeep Saini, Rajneesh Gurbani, Umar Nazir

Unadkat is picked but no Khejroliya despite doing so well in the opportunities he got. Dhwwal Kulkarni ahead of Deshpande.   

 

very imbalanced sides picked with every team having just 3 frontline seamers out for 14 selected. 

[The Dark Horse]

Trundlers galore.... Kulkarni, Kaul, Unadkat, Chahar..

[Suhaan]

Ready to puke at the names chahar,udaankat,kaul,kulkarni ...you just name them

[wanted_desi]

Hoping Shubman & Shaw score heavily putting pressure on oldies in National team. 

[Mosher]

Good that Aaron is picked up after his good performance in VH. Shocking that Khejroliya is not picked up after his 6-fer and Deshpande after his 5-fer. These two have picked up wickets whenever they have played.

How can they accommodate these bowlers when the squad is crammed with promising speed demons like chahar, Udaankat,Kaul, Kulkarni etc?there is barely any space left..The speed demons will set the world on fire..

Problem w/ Ind has been a lack of vision and therefore planning

Does anybody know about this Kashmiri pacer Umar Nazir. He's 6'2 and 24 yo. Got 10 wickets in 5 matches in this tournament.

He's in India C.

No. This guys is different.  The guy in another thread is 17 year old and is now picked for J&K U19.

I don't prefer teams picked based on the Ind A, Ind Red, etc. lines .... It should be based on regions to make it more interesting 

 

There are 37 Ranji teams so they can be clubbed into 3 teams based on regions

there used to be five teams from 5 zones before and that was better as more player got their chances.  A 3-team tournament is nothing but farce.

Soul crushing for the likes of Kejroliya. WTF is wrong with these selectors. 

 

And also those squads look like they have been done in a hurry. India B looks weak and is not balanced.

And many folks don't even know which team to support unless you root for specific players
