Shami ** Only the backup opener and backup middle order batsman's slot is open now. ** The backup middle order batsman will be one among Pant, Shankar and DK. ** I am missing a 4th pacer in this squad. What if we want to play 3 specialist quicks and 1 among the 3 is carrying a niggle. You need a back up WK. So DK will get in. So middle order is also fixed. For back up opener , i may not be surprised if they go back to Hahane again with hamiltion in mind ( though in my opinion its just a perception, I do not recollect him doing anything of note on such matches earlier) . If he is selected for coming Aus series that confirms he will be in. But if KL regains form he will that back up opener. Selectors may also go for 4th pacer simply cos you cannot bring in some one from India without getting acclimitisation to play in WC match if some one breaks down. Also vs BAng, SL & even PAK we may have to go for 3 pacers+HP, if conditions are little helpful . In that sense we may see 4 pacers in the 15 . profster 1 Link to comment

Two out of Jadeja/Pant/Shankar to complete the squad Before today i was sure final spot would goto Pant, jaddu i am sure will be in the squad. (how things change , WC 03 we played with makeshift keeper WC 19 we could go with 3 ) . Shankar today built a strong case. bowl_out 1 Link to comment

On rethink i think it is better to go with 3 best pacers + HP. Will mostly play 2 pacers +2 leggies + HP vs SENA countries . Against mostly SC countries play 3 pacers + 1 Leggie + HP. In case a pacer gets injured would go with a proven 2+2+HP attack rather than some rookie . And use that 4th pcaer slot in 15 for a middle order bat . Will go for Pant . The impact player.

We just need a 3rd opener and a 4th fast bowler to complete our World Cup squad. I have a feeling that KL Rahul & Umesh Yadav will be the final 2 pieces to this squad. I have the same starting XI. Looks the most realistic for now. Backups: Shami for Bhuvi/Bumrah Jadeja for Kuldeep/chahal Shankar for Jadhav Pant/DK for Dhoni Will be a test for Pant and Shankar in the Aus series and IPL.. if Pant fails, then go with DK If Shankar fails, go with a fourth quick (Umesh or Thakur) Edited February 3, 2019 by bowl_out Link to comment
Tendulkar1996 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Certainties now - dhawan rohit kohli rayudu dhoni kedar pandya kuldeep shami chahal bumrah bhuvi That leaves 3 open spots ,one has to be reserve wktkeeper and middle order option,other reserve allrounder. Final spot you could pick a reserve opener,another middle order backup or another pacer. Reserve keeper i would take pant. Reserve allrounder stil undecided between shankar and jadeja.Lets see Aus series. 4rth pacer is unnecessary.So we take batsman. Options are dinesh kartik as finisher,kl rahul as reserve opner or shubman gill as reserve opener cum middle order bat. Rahul is out of form,so i think karthik will make it though personally i would have preferred gill. Link to comment

As a frontline bat if he is coming after Shankar that shows he is useless in all situations. I will bet right now that one of these days some Aussie or WI hack is going to get hold of him and end his bowling career. His batting is very unreliable against quality attacks and fielding less said the better. Link to comment
