he's definitely out. I'd play kishan, although I don't trust his keeping.

 

bharath is a good option, but he is not as devastating in lower middle order. if he plays, he should bat no lower than 5.

[R!TTER]

So your 12 then? No holds barred, pick SRT if you have to!

Any reason for 12 man squad? It is 15 right?

[R!TTER]

Well just for the test match, your most probable 11(plus 1) squad. If we're picking reserve spinners for instance they are unlikely to play barring an injury, same goes for seamers!

Would try Kishan or even Samson. The days of pure WK are gone

bharath is a pure keeper who can bat quite well. but I think the order should be kishan > wadkar = bharath > samson

Heard Upendra Yadav can bat too

[R!TTER]

It will be a conservative/safe/horrible selection given what we'd already seen in Bangla 2nd test.

yes, he's also pretty good with the bat.

Has to be Kishan.

 

We need all the batting with our rotten top 4

[Serpico]

Rohit 

Gill 

Pujara 

Kohli 

Iyer 

Sundar 

Bharat 

Ashwin

Kuldeep 

Shami 

Siraj 

Prasidh

We can't afford to give too many chances to smith/labu, need a proper keeper imo

[R!TTER]

Is the same top 4 are batting (with/without RGS?) then how the hell are we gonna accommodate Kishan? I think at least 2 of RGS/KL/Pujara/Brat need to sit out!

[Majestic]

Rohit

Rahul

Pujara

Kohli

S Iyer

KS Bharat(wkt)

Jadeja

Ashwin

Axar

Siraj/Shami/ Bumrah/Umesh(any two)

 

Most likely this will be 11 and Gill will be 12. This team needs a left hander in middle order(5 or 6) .

KL Rahul, Kohli don't deserve to be there. Should be  Jaiswal and Sarfraz.
