There needs to be an annual 3-match ODI series between a full-strength India and India 'A'

Agree

 Make it 5 match series.. identify the core 22 with replacement for every player .. establish a pool of 30 and give them all a central contract..and all 22 of these players should have played at least 15 ODis each before next WC. Mandate rest for the regulars for every alternate series. Don't select team based on sponsors..

 

Easier said than done.. if it is all sponsors driven, let's just  watch IPL. No point being passionate about this team.wrong selections and lack of preparedness have killed us in SF..

Jadeja just saved shastri,kohli and dhoni PR. Else we could have seen large scale changes now. We lost the semifinal and also lost the urge to do some cleanup..

Agree but in Indian cricket anyone has a big enough heart to  show  door to these  expiry date hero’s  like Australian team management  who not even take 2 series  to  drop  arguably the word best batsman Ricky Ponting .

I would even put a series.... and play it outside india... Will probably get more crowd support than if its played in India... 

Good idea. Test them in foreign conditions too. Fans in India would not fill the stadium to see India face India 'A'.

Whatever happened to the challenger trophy India vs India a vs India B. Used to be very exciting back in the day

Its substituted by a tournament called "IPL"

Our bench strength needs to be tested every year to see where they stand compared to the senior team. Same way, the senior team needs to be tested every year to see if they're really the best choices to represent the country at the international level.

 

An India 'A' player who performs against the senior Indian team would make his name and immediately be in contention for a place in the senior side.

kohli and dhoni will not allow this to happen. especially since the latter is liable to get shown up by younger, fitter, hungrier, better players.

Simple solution would be to make this an important part of the calendar and schedule other international series around it. Like you would IPL or something. Considering it's 3 matches, the series will get over within a week.

Solution is to cut out crap series against lanka or poor sides but FTP for years is already set

Koi faida nhi .:om:

 

They will select Raina , Rahane, Umesh , Ashwin, Mishra , Axar etc and the whole point of it gets diluted. :bird:
