Popular Post TNAmarkFromIndia Posted July 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 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. chewy, JourneyMan, Soorma_Bhopali and 11 others 1 13 Link to comment
prasen82 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 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.. Link to comment
Arvind32 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 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 . Link to comment
figo6762 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Agreed... I would even put a series.... and play it outside india... Will probably get more crowd support than if its played in India... Link to comment

Sandeep99 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Indian players feel too entitled to play this kind of a tournament Link to comment

chewy Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Wont happen, because alot of firsy team players will be exposed Even if it did, it will be politicised with a weak India A being picked Suhaan, Vijy and maniac 3 Link to comment

If anything, on promoting it right, it could be a bigger deal now than it was back then because people know even many domestic cricketers now through IPL. Soorma_Bhopali 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Format needs to be fair. Let the selector pick their first 11 and then another set of selectors get the second 11. Then we can see the results. But no mixing of players. That dilutes the product. BacktoCricaddict, Soorma_Bhopali and saik 1 2 Link to comment

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. Link to comment

Solution is to cut out crap series against lanka or poor sides but FTP for years is already set Link to comment
Norman Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Koi faida nhi . They will select Raina , Rahane, Umesh , Ashwin, Mishra , Axar etc and the whole point of it gets diluted. Link to comment
