Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav and Jayant Yadav set to join Indian team in England ahead of the Test series. Likely to fly in 2-3 days.

Oh my gawd... This clown has gone mad now. What are they smoking!!! 

2-3 days since Friday, when this news came in Indian Express, is over today. No signs of any official confirmation by BCCI yet.

 

In all probability, the news is incorrect

[Sandeep99]

Anyway,  I'd definitely have sky over vihari in the team for sure. Can come in at 5 and take advantage against tiring bowlers.

[Gollum]

How do these fools not see that Vijay Shankar is a perfect fit in typical Eng conditions? Just how? Can't they differentiate between conditions, formats? Will waste Shankar on pattas in T20s but not pick him in test tours to Eng and NZ  what is this madness?

I just checked cricinfo, this news is flashing.

So, it is true, I guess.

[Frustrated]

Kohli is causing lot of trauma for Indian team from outside. 

We are likely to lose next two games, if SKY does not play.

 

[Lord]

so only SKY and Shaw

 

Kohli got his wish

[Lone Wolf]

SKY needs to play one more game.. We ain't beating Lankans without him.  Only guy so far who is picking Hasaranga & scoring as well. 

[raki05]

Will they not play 2nd T20?

It is still not clear. Hopefully they leave after 2nd t20. And we must win the 2nd one.

Yeah saw that now.

 

Hope they are allowed to at least play the entire series. In any case, they will not be picked for the first two tests. Third test starts from 25th August. Even if they reach England on 30th July, gives them enough time for quarantine and then acclimatise

[Lord]

So our openers now are Rohit,Mayank,Easwaran,Shaw with Rahul,Vihari, and Pujara also possible options

[Vivek92]

Are they replacement for Avesh Khan and Sundar, bit strange to replace one bowler and one bowling all-rounder with two front line batsmen.

Agree bro. Would be fairly useful bowler to have in English conditions ala CDG or Gregory. His batting technique ain't all that bad.

'tragedy that he is just wasted, he is playing TNPL ....kohli once told he is such a sound player n a future test option. They even selected him for a test series but sab ghajini bhare hue hai

Forget bowling he ll walk in as a batsman alone

 

Its just tragic

He could have done well in the WTC F as well, but our TM will forever remain clueless.

This team management has some different type of agenda, because you can't be that stupid.

Avesh was a net bowler only.

[dilliboy]

What has Shaw shown in this series to prove he can bat in English swinging conditions? Sky should be a fixture in LoIs now... Please don't tamper with his game to adjust to the Test arena.

High time we started attributing such decisions to malice. The agenda is very clear, keep Shaw and SKY away from doing well in T20s to the extent possible. Otherwise the places of TM's favourites will be in danger

[Sandeep99]

SKy is possibly the most valuable Indian batsman at the moment. Number 5. Can pull games away from oppositions in few overs. Clown would be ultra stupid to dent him at this juncture. Here's a guy we've been waiting since Yuvraj was done in 2011. Please for god's sake let him be and don't show any ill intent towards him. He will win us crunch matches!
