India tour of West Indies: Squad to be picked on July 19

[SecondSlip]

Quote

 

After their disappointing exit from the Cricket World Cup, India now get set for their next assignment and it is a full-fledged month-long tour of the West Indies. Starting in August, India will play three T20Is, as many ODIs and two Tests besides a three-day game. At the moment, speculation is rife on who would make it to the squad in the wake of the World Cup debacle.

 

The most interesting part of the team selection for the tour is whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni will continue to play. It was expected that the 38-year-old would call it a day soon after India lost to New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final on July 10. But the veteran hasn’t revealed his plans yet, leaving even the BCCI officials perplexed.
 

The Indian selectors will meet to pick the squad for the Windies tour on July 19 and since the limited-overs series is scheduled before the Tests, the Dhoni question will have to be answered soon enough. Although sources close to the BCCI recently indicated that the former India captain will not be an automatic choice again and is less likely to board the Caribbeans-bound flight but yet there is no finality on that issue.
 

The first two T20Is will be played at Lauderhill in Florida, United States, and the first match is scheduled on August 3.
 

“The selectors will meet in Mumbai on July 19. We have not heard from Dhoni but what is relevant is the communication between the player and selectors. If you ask me, Dhoni did well in the World Cup but he is his own man. Only he can decide whether he wants to carry on or not,” India Today cited reports quoting a BCCI official as saying following after the Committee of Administrators’ meeting in New Delhi.
 

The Indian squad is likely to miss captain Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-over series and will return for the Tests starting August 22. The two Test-series will be a part of the inaugural Test Championship. There are also contradictory reports that Kohli might as well play the full tour after a disappointing conclusion to the World Cup campaign.
 

The other cricketer who is yet not a definite choice is Shikhar Dhawan. The dashing opener had fractured his thumb while batting during the World Cup match against Australia at the Oval last month and was ruled out after some monitoring.
 

The issue of players picking and choosing games also came up at the meeting which was also joined by CEO Rahul Johri from London through video conferencing.

I don't see many changes in the team.The selection committee knows what happened to Mohinder Amarnath.

 

If Amarnath can be thrown out , Prasad is nobody in front of Dhoni

Zero interest in this after the WC, would rather watch paint dry than a dire meaningless ODI series. 

[bowl_out]

should have a squad that looks like below... wouldn't expect a complete overhaul, but it will suck if kohli or dhoni feature in the squad.

Your test squad is quite good. Mine would  be same except  Bhuvi and KL.  KLR is not a test match material surely there r better guys than him in domestic circuit.  If Shaw is fit then he should slot right there.  Instead of Bhuvi I think Siraj or Avesh will be a good one.

it would be more interesting if they selected the current A side ,atleast we can identify future prospects.

[Ankit_sharma03]

 

 

 

[Khota]

making Virat the captain for all formats sends a message that failure will be rewarded.

[cricketfan28]

I think Dhoniji will be rested.

Dhoni will be considered for tests?

[ShoonyaSifar]

Not picking at least 7-8 younger guys will be an opportunity missed. Rest Kohli, Dhawan, Pandya, Shami and Bumrah. Drop Dhoni, Kedar, DK, Shankar and Bhuvi

 

LOIs- Mayank, Gill, Iyer, Pant, Gopal, Saini, Avesh/Khaleel must play every match with Rana for T20s

Tests - Mayank, Gill, Vihari, Pant. Saini, Kuldeep (as main spinner) must play every match

We can only hope, but surely will be left disappointed. Expect the usual team for the tour. I will burst out with laughter if they pick the likes of Shankar again to try for the #4 position.

Team still not announced so kejriwal -

That was a stupid selection-Shankar at 4.

 

They liked his bowling but realised they wanted a good batsman ..Shankar kind of failed.

So i agree giving younger players a go in ODIs and T20.

 

Test series is part of test championship, only change that should happen compared to aussies series is shaw or rahul for vijay.
