D.Chahar can bat a bit ... Saini has a 45 in ODIs.    : )

What happens if Krunal gets injured? Do you think Tewatia will play in ODIs?

While this is a good T20 side, the ODI team still needs a 5th bowler. Will that be Tewatia + Hardik if Krunal becomes unavailable? Or would you have Shankar as a back up in the squad?

Fair point.

 

I will include Shankar in place of one of the spinners.

[Straight Drive]

Will India rest key players like Kohli, Bumrah and Sharma for ODI?

 

Given that we have T20i Cup in few months, BCCI should send the first 11 for T20i series.

The tournament is in mid-July, nearly 2 months away. Do not expect the squad to be picked before the WTC finals

They will pick early next month I guess & assemble the squad early like they are doing with England tour & first do quarantine in Mumbai or Chennai before departure to Colombo for further quarantine.

T20Is have been increased as per reports. Instead of 3 now 5 T20Is will be played & BCCI has agreed.

As if the performances in these T20Is will even matter for the T20 WC selection. But good opportunity for the youngsters

Good chance for guys like Surya & Kishan to make their case stronger for WT20.  Few games under their belt before WC should help.  Also can solve who is gonna be our primary spinner in WC?  Rahul Chahar vs Chahal or Even Varun C.
