Let's go by replacements 

G

For Rohit..we have potentially Jaiswal.

For Pujara..Abhimanyu Easwaran or Hanuma Vihari ?

For Kohli...Ideally Gill shoukd replace him...and Gill should be replaced at the top by Ruturaj. In MO we have Shreyas but not sure about his game against bounce.

For Rahane...Sarafarz, Rinku or Tilak Varma.

 

 

Ideally a good Team

Easwaran/Gill (R)

Jaiswal (L)

Ruturaj/Vihari (R)

Gill/Shreyas (R)

Rinku/Tilak (L) or Sarfaraz (R)

I would be happy if losing the WTC meant all these changes would happen. Sadly they wont. The combined failures will continue to happen.

 

Pant cant rescue the uncles anymore and Jaddu is at the end of his career to save our batsmen. India will continue to fail with this old uncle lineup.

ideally as follows:

 

rahane: should never have been brought in to the fold; some IPL knocks and ranji runs vs weak teams are not enough

Pujara: has lost footwork, scoring options, etc. mostly a dead weight, both figuratively and semi-literally

bharath: not a test-level player

 

then, it should be kohli shortly: can't score runs beyond pattas

 

next, almost immediately, it should be vada pav. he is the most unfit of the lot, but has scored some useful runs at least in SC over the past few years.

 

finally, it should be Gill -- not suited for opening, and may not even be suited for MO

We have been saying that for last 3 years.

Kohli is not just a senior batsman but he is King.

 

Kings can't be phased out, they leave at their own mercy. So King Kohli is undroppable. If anything, I am hearing rumors that Kohli will get test captaincy again

 

Remaining 3 can be phased out in following order:

 

1. Count Dracula - he can do the Dracula business for Sussex in 2nd Div

2. Rahane - he must focus on CKS winning 6th title next year. Can be captain of CSK as well after Dhoni

3. Rohit - he should retire and become Pakistan's batting coach

All of them at once 

Has to be this . You keep one of the non performers, they have enough control in the system to get back the others, it's like a mafia where they want to protect the mediocrity of each other for mutual benefits. Better select all new folks and let them find out their way to success.

Also KL Rahul is not that old enough but more sterile than the rest of the seniors, hence he needs to go as well. We don't need midgets who can perform against minnows but act as rats against quality opposition particularly when the guy has 8-9 years of experience in international cricket.

Selection shouldn't be based on seniority or stardom. 

 

Pick the best team regardless of age. If a 40+ Dhoni is still the best captain/strategist then I'd pick him over someone else. 

 

If a 21 years old Yashaswi is in a better form than Rohit Sharma, then pick Yash.

As per selectors "It’s not the time for transition. Rather the two Tests against West Indies give us the opportunity to try out a few names.

 

The selectors are focussed to giving chances to players who are with the squad ie Surya,Mukesh Kumar,Ishan Kishan .There are no options for phrasing out seniors.

All tailenders masquerading as batsmen by averaging below 30 should be thrown out immediately.

says a lot when the best bats are "bowlers" (I know they are not, just exaggerating) like sundar, axar, jaddu, undercutter

News coming out is that there won't be anyone getting dropped: Even Pujara won't be dropped. 

 

 

There is also no chance of youngsters getting selected in the squad as it is decided that they will stick with Ishan,Surya,Mukesh,Axar,Unadkat as they should get the opportunity first then.youngsters 

 

Only change is Saha in place of Bharat.

They are also convincing Pandya to make a comeback.in test cricket.
