Why hasn’t Team India toured Zimbabwe since 2016?

[Gollum]

Made a post about this elsewhere. Should try it during our home season, 3 matches simultaneously...say Ind vs Eng/Aus/NZ tests, vs BD/WI/SL in ODIs and vs Afg/Ire/Zim in T20s.

Not sure about T20 since I don't follow IPL. Others can come up with better players I guess.

I agree Dube wasn't that good in the few chances he got but we have to persist with players like him for a little longer. If he improves his batting, he could be a ready-made backup for HP. Will much rather have him than the krunals and the Axars. 

2021 T20 WC and 2023 WC in India, so we may need Axar/Krunal.

Why ? Jadeja/Pandya/Sundar are already there. 

 

Indian cricket needs an upgraded Dube more than the upgraded Krunals/Axars.

Paddikal has to earn his spot...

 

To be honest, I haven't seen anything special in him....

 

I know he is going thru some wonderful form .... but he has to show the same for atleast 3 years ...

 

We have many players who has golden run for 2 years and disappear into oblivion...

 

 

Well I'd like to see KL opening then.  He is our best T20I bat.  Can give us flying starts in PP & has a career SR to 145+ with 46  Avg. 

Pant & Rana can both play in MO.  About time we get few hard hitting left handers in our First XI.  After Suresh Raina we haven't got any.  Left handers can be clutch in crucial games.
