India's squads for Australia announced (T20I, ODI and Tests)


Recommended Posts

As per The Times of India, Pant is dealing with 'weight issues' and that Team India's fitness trainer had a talk with him. The report adds that he is overweight. Maintaining desired fitness levels and clearing the yo-yo test are non-negotiable and there is a long list of players who have been dropped from the national team due to fitness issues in the past three years.

 

"The Indian team fitness trainer had shared his perspective on Pant some days ago and we believe he's overweight. Regardless of what's obvious on the field, the BCCI and the selectors will have to take the fitness report on Pant into consideration before they can pick him. The selectors need to speak to trainer Nick Webb before taking the call," a source told TOI.

Should have been 

 

Tyagi

Prasidh 

Nagarkoti 

Porel

 

Assuming Mavi is still not a 100%.

 

I don't understand why Prasidh is being ignored.

 

Prasidh should have been in the ODI squad itself  ... his pace and bounce would have been an asset in Australia.

Sunil Joshi is Chaitman of selectors comes from Karnataka still turns his blind eye to Prasidh

Dramebaazi of imandari?

Jadeja, Pandey in T20s :facepalm:where is SKY?

 

Shardul :hysterical:, I won't even pick him in that Hong Kong Sixes 3rd string Indian team. 

 

Rahane in tests, that too as VC, disgusted, how do we get rid of that phoney?

Jadeja has been in selected in squads for over a decade. Apart from a good spell in tests he has been a bust especially in ODIs & T20s.

 

Rahane is VC so not going anywhere as Kohli likes a meek & mute side-kick.

Natarajan picked as net bowler for his left arm angle, what's wrong? Good batting practice, and the kid will get to hang out with our regulars, gain valuable experience, calm his nerves. We desperately need a left arm quick (swing, cutter, high pace whatever), no harm in being a bit more relaxed in selection of such kind of bowlers. Long term planning needed and Natarajan will surely be among top 5 left arm quicks in the country.

No expectations after that **** show in NZ. Will be pleased with a hard fought 1-3 defeat. Don't care about white ball formats. 

Exactly almost gave up watching Indian cricket after that series. I thought it wud be a redemption of kind after wc exit but turned out even worse. But not to worry, after getting humiliated in Oz we will play another ipl and all will be fine.

Shardul Thakur won't make Bangladesh squad. In India an automatic starter, is he related to some bigshot? In the format that he has been picked he averages 51 going at 7 rpo, 11 ODIs so decent sample size. Do our selectors know what those stats mean? Forget his stats, do they say anything special in his skillset? What idiocy is this?

Mavi instead of Porel. Porel seems Ganguly quota.

 

From Mavi's perspective, if is good that Kohli and Shastri don't assess him when he is not bowling with full pace, zip.and bounce.

 

They may wrongly write him off as a medium pacer.

 

I want Mavi to be with Team India when he is bowling at full tilt.

 

But why no Prasidh. !!
