Players like Hooda Kishan could be critical for us. 

Hooda vs Shadab could be the clincher in Dubai. 

SKY vs Rauf...  He can use his extra pace. 

 

Boobie in UAE is a bad idea...  Harshal would be in heaven....  His early Diwali gift lol

pitches would be well-suited for harshal's ultra-slow deliveries

and we have not tried any youngsters beforehand either.

 

LOL! We are trying Kishan, Ruturaj and among bowlers Umran, Avesh, Arshdeep. Pant is established. And then not so young faces like Suryakumar. But most of them had failed in UAE in past.

Bat second in Dubai. Bat first in Sharjah. Although chasing bias in Dubai trumps the bat first bias in  Sharjah. 

 

I'd rather we played a few matches in Australia prior to the tournament to acclimatize to grounds, conditions etc.

we are trying them now. I don't think likes of Gill and Shaw have been tried enough, to give two examples.

Let Gill crack IPL first. If you think Shaw is better than XYZ, it's your opinion. Selectors need not think the same way. Thing is they should be trying out someone, anyone.

Why not Bangladesh? No one watches cricket in UAE, without crowd, players will not have any motivation.

What batsmen would you like to play in UAE? I will drop all seniors except Rahul, Pant, Pandya. Everyone failed there. And get Samson, Ruturaj, Shaw there. Hooda is already going I guess. 

Why? Samson, Ruturaj etc wont play in T20 world cup. No one cares about Asia cup win...this is more of a dress rehearsal for WT20. India should be playing the main team that it would play in WT20. This is not a time for experimentation.

Beating them in UAE will be tough. Fans may give up watching cricket if we lose again.

 

Didn't we win the last Asia cup there? Where is the confidence? We will maul them this time :two_thumbs_up:

That was ODI, our strongest format. And we won the final on last ball. T20s are more unpredictable. Rohit will take us to the finals easily, I am confident, but that Pakistan game :nervous:

I thought asia cup is 50 overs, not 20 overs. IPL is T20s, not the same as ODIs.

 

apart from this, the rest I also agree with.

My preferred T20 11 assuming everyone is available:

 

KL

Gill/Pant/Samson

Hooda

SKY

SDP

DK

Sundar (for bowling) or Tewatia (for finishing)

Moshin

Bumrah

Umran

Yuzi

Asia Cup is in T20 format this year I think.

Rohit has been rested for Windies series.  He should use this break to learn the art of playing quality left arm seamers.  Otherwise, another 1st ball duck (LBW) off Shaheen awaits him.    (2021 WT20 dismissal off Shaheen was an exact replica of 2017 CT off Amir.  Everything was the same except the bowler.  LOL).

Last time it was in BD the T20 one... 

 

Ramiz said a epic line when Dhoni hit a 107 m six in final....  "This has punctured the spirit of the crowd"....  That was some game lol...  BD crowd was crying. 

Asia cup in BD would have been awesome.
