What is the hurry, test series is still 3 weeks away. Hope they don't do the selection at 6 am stressing out our players on such a critical day. Knowing BCCI I think that's what is going to happen.

It's a sadistic Indian bureaucrat babu trick.  They themselves have had no sporting talent, but now have the power to play shatranj with these talented hard-working youngsters, so they wield it in the worst way possible. A-holes.

Drop Nattu from Test squad..  Don't think Siraj & Shardul are going anywhere.  Ishant will be back as well.  Umesh &,  bumrah should play as well.. (Bumrah only for D/N Test)  Porel as well. 

 

Jaddu is out so Sundar retains as of now..  Kuly Ashwin & Nadeem three spinners. 

 

Batting let's see on Day 5 how Rohit,  Gill & Mayank perform.  Either way back these three on home games

Doesn’t matter there will be replacements at home anyways due to injuries etc, better to announce your best team and hope for the best unless some is is really out for long

Maybe because the selected players will have to report to be under a bio-bubble a week to 10 days before the series starts? Not bad to give the picked players time off for a week to 10 days on their return from Australia. With advance notice, they can plan their break the way they want.

 

Also, will we need a bigger ppl, of players in the bubble or can players be added after 2 tests?

A large squad should be selected with enough cover.

That's the reason.

That's all right, they can do that a day or two after day 5, no? And why this public announcement?

 

Imagine you have an important exam tomorrow morning and selection merit list based on some other exam is also scheduled to be released tomorrow afternoon/evening. All I am saying is this move is unnecessary, let players forget all else and just focus on the day's play, last day of this gruelling tour. Such announcements may not affect regulars like Rahane, Pujara, Rohit but 50:50 cases like Thakur, Sundar, Saini may have their own worries.

Siraj, Shradul and Sundar did themselves a huge favor so mostly they would be selected for this series. Saini really doubtful.

 

Natarajan wont be there for sure as he wasnt selected for Gabba test for skills but just for lack of availability of others. Kind of a SOS call, much like the one sent to Dravid in Eng T20s in 2011.

With so many injury concerns, I would pick a 21 - man squad minimum:    

Batsmen: Kohli, Pujara, Rahane, Rohit, Gill, Mayank, Pandya, Rahul

 

WK: Pant, Saha, Kishan

 

AR: Ash, Jaddu, Sundar, Thakur

 

bowlers: Bumrah, Ishant, Umesh, Shami, Siraj, Kuly

Why would we need 21 man squad when matches are going to be played in India :hmmmm2:
