Agreed.. but Pandya has been utter dross against pace and spin alike. Can't rely on Jadeja against international bowlers on big grounds.

 

agree on Pandya,he should be killing spinners but he is barely managing run a ball against them,he needs to contribute with bat and ball.

How many will last through the IPL or get niggled between now and the WT20 :hmmm:

 

I am sure the final squad will be a lot more  different.

 

When was the last time Bhuvi played 2 major series/ tournaments back to back?

 

Add the questionable fitness of Pandya (even though he will be in as a batsman)

 

Then there is the Fragile Rahul

 

there is just a lot of cricket happening between now and WT20 which will determine the final squad.

2016 squad: Rohit, Dhawan, Rahane, Kohli, Raina, Yuvraj (replaced by Pandey), Pandya, Dhoni, Ashwin, Jadeja, Bhajji, Bumrah, Shami, Nehra, Negi

 

6 batsmen, Pandya + Jaddu, 3 spinners, 3 seamers

 

Rohit, Clown, Pandya, Jaddu, Ashwin, Bumrah in the squad. They played all 5 matches and other than clown, all had a forgettable tournament.

 

SKY, Pant, Kishan, R Chahar, Varun and Axar - hope they bring a lot of new energy to the squad.

Kishan was a disaster in the IPL. I dont mind him but think SHAW is better.  kishan is likely ahead as he may be keeper batsman if  Pant is  out for some reason.

Did you see IPl in UAE...  Dude hit most sixes 30 in fact & 2nd most runs there.  He was one Indian who was able to clear those big boundaries along with SKY & Pandya.

And thts where the errors of Siraj & Lord may get corrected .

Only fear is if Chahal bowls well .

my fear is dhawan doing well and he has been in IPL....being pushed to the walls motivates him even more

chahar and Varun C should be switched, rest of it is as good as it can be! Wait for IPL, i am sure there will be changes.. praying that Dhawan does not get in top 5 scorers. No such worries from chahal!

New Zealand - waiting for you with Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar on a spinning UAE pitch.

ICC tournament monkey off our back finally I hope!

 

We played NZ in the home T20 WC on a rank turner, and that backfired.

Siraj shouldn’t be in the WT20 squad starting line up.

 

He will be very expensive. 
 

I love Siraj the test bowler but he should be kept away from international T20’s. That may start effecting his test bowling.

 

Yes he bowled well last IPL in a couple of games but every one had such seasons including Vinay Kumar and Unadkut. Not comparing him to them but just the line bowls will be hittable in white ball cricket on most days on docile pitches.

 

If you need a bowler who can take wickets with the new ball than Bhuvi (on reputation) and Deepak Chahar (underrated) are better options and they can bat as well.

 

Mark my words ICF will turn on Siraj the moment he starts playing LoI’s regularly.

 

Not a white ball bowler especially in the shortest format regardless of what he did in a couple of games.

My hunch is Chahal still has a chance of comeback but Dhawan - we have seen the last in India T20  shirt.

UAE is probably most favorable venue for Indian team..  In India small grounds ultra fast outfields & dew negate the effect of our Spinners..   And we constantly lose crucial LOI games to Australia Eng & even WI. 

UAE conditions make this squad quite lethal. 

Now upto those selected to have killer IPl.  Keep Dhawan out Ishan &  Rahul Chahar should perform well for MI to keep midget Chahal out of here.. 

Ashwin last time started well in UAE for DC before getting injured.

What excites me most is that selectors so boldly have discarded many experienced guys . That means no way they will select them again in future .

If we just add Shaw , Siraj , and some new pacers  we would have picked the best available talent.

Ashwin

Jadeja

Chahar

Too many spinners.. 

 

Must have selected shardul and Siraj instead of Axar and shami.. 

Thought the same
