who would be in your T20 squad then

to far away to say as of now ........A-tour will be happening so form n fitness needs to be seen . 

It a fun but pointless exercise making squad so well in advance . 

 

One thing for sure - Pant, Rahul, Shankar, Krunal, Saini, Khaleel, Shaw, Gill, Mayank has earned national cap and from here on they need Max international exposure and backing as possible.

I hope one of Saini / Prasidh / Avesh gets a go. If they go back to Kaul or Shardul, God save Indian cricket.

Imagine the number of centuries Kohli would have scored if he had not been rested for so many of these type of series in the last 2 years.

 

Rest Rohit as well. Both have done the same amount of work in the last 3 months. Infact Rohit has done a more toll-takeing job in IPL.

Yeah, Kohli has been missing out a lot. He should play the first 2-3 games of the ODI series and then take a break from the last 1-2. Moreover, he is the biggest star in world cricket today and any series without him will be a disappointment to viewers and telecasters.

They will get a stretcher for him to run but he will do it.

Runs faster than a cheetah khota bhai. Running was never questioned even by hardcore haters.

At this rate, by the time bumrah retires he would have played only around 90 odis. A shame considering how he is the best pacer from India ever (my opinion) and had the chance to break the highest no of wickets ever record by an Indian. 

 

But rest is also important I guess.

Will dhuni be captain in absence of paper kaptaan

[bowl_out]

Dhoni will likely be kaptaan and it will be his farewell series

[Ankit_sharma03]

We shud not look back at - Dhoni, Rayudu, Jadhav, DK and move on from them 

Even Shami shud be told to stick to test cricket post this. Nothing wrong with his bowling but whatever bowling is left in his body shud be for test cricket

I don't know what is with this weird fasciantion for records by subcontinent people in sports. What matters is WINS.

If he is part of a WT20, WC and Test champions side and delivered the goods, that is all that will matter.

His reflexes are crappy. Cannot collect cleanly.

[jatinder]

need to give deepak chahar , navdeep saini , avesh khan , khaleel ahmed , shreyas gopal  and other good domestic bowler to show there talent. are they mentally fit to play international cricket ?

[jatinder]

also need to give srikar bharat wicket keeper show his talent ? 

[Straight Drive]

Thats sensible decision to give them a rest.

It's not that far away, early August...and It's a pointless exercise regardless of when we did it :-) 

 

From your list Mayank and Shankar are ok but not good T20 bats, potentially good ODI bats yes but in T20s Rana and SKY are much better options. This is what I mean by confusing formats.

 

Also think we should keep Shaw away from LOIs for now, we have arguably better options anyway.

Agree but at this point its about international exposure anyways BCCI send almost identical squads for LOI apart from 1-2 players at max

I really want Kohli to break all batting records. Great player.
