You can't all experienced players together. They need to be phased out in a proper manner in next 2 years. Then you have 2 years to prepare.

True, and even in the first 2 yrs they can be rotated judiciously.

 2 years is not enough. We need to find back up players for the main team and they need to be also match ready. Hales was the backup opener for England and look at how many games he has played already.

Rohit and Dhawan aren't going to retire anytime soon and it will hamper the growth of youngsters for opening position. Both are good enough in bilaterals to keep scoring to not get dropped ever.

You don't need them to retire. They arent indispensable.

Problem is these are the times where we rarely get to see triangular tournaments which i believe were more valuable than modern day bilaterals,where finals were generally clutch matches 

Even if we do play these bilaterals which we have to ,we should move forward with atleast one young opener batting with either of Rohit ,Dhawan

They will keep performing and it will be impossible to drop them till they completely lose it.

Why do you need experienced players if they are not going to play in the next WC.
