  1. Pant 
  2. Rohit 
  3. Kohli
  4. Iyer
  5. Rahul
  6. Jadeja/ axar (needs to be seen who adds more value)
  7. Hardik
  8. bhuvi
  9. Saini
  10. Bumrah
  11. Chahal
     
  12. Shami 
  13. Shaw
  14. Gill
  15. Kuldeep 
  16. Prasidh/Rajpoot 

 

  • Pant is too good a player to sit out, somehow he needs to be adjusted and Rahul keeping in long term in ODI is foolish. Lets try pant at opening slot
  • Shami fitness needs to be seen as he is not getting any younger 
  • Shaw n Gill has to be in scheme of things now 
  • Dhawan question has to be asked again specially with 2 t20 Wc in line there wud be a lot of t20 cricket and ODI wud take backseat so he only gets left with ODI also he aint getting any younger

Shaw, Gill, Rahul Chahar, Krunal, Prasidh, Rajpoot should be in the scheme of things.

I'll make a change and put Gill in place of Kohli. Next 2 ICC events are T20 WCs and lot of tests incl SENA tours, so Kohli can spend some time away from ODIs. Even if he loses momentum no problem since don't expect much from the choker in the next WC anyway. Rest Sharma every now and then and play Shaw, KL or Shreyas can take captaincy role in that case.

Ideally we should really start looking at 2023 and get rid of obvious deadwood. But with Lolli as the captain, don't see that happening.

Think of England squad of 2019. They have stroke players like Buttler, Moeen coming at 6,7.. after 40 overs we should have someone like a Gill take control while Pandya and Jadeja can slog. 

 

Bottomline - STROKE PLAYERS IN THE LOWER MIDDLE ORDER

Also the same English squad only fielded specialist fast bowlers if they're extremely pacy like Plunkett, Jofra or Wood. If you're somelie like a Woakes, you need to have bare minimum credentials with the bat to get in.

Considering 2023 will be played in India...Kohli will try to take the same approach as 2011 i.e pack the team with experienced superstars as a last hurrah. Unless likes of Gill/Shaw etc. perform exceptionally before that...dont expect anyone to be in the team. Remember how Rohit Sharma missed the 2011 WC? I wont be surprised if MSD makes into the 2023 WC squad as his last WC.
