Why does the Indian team lineup seem unsettled every WC cycle?

It's lazyness, nothing else.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma all used to bowl in their U-19 days. Jaiswal isn't bowling anymore.

Abhishek Sharma stopped bowling and now his bowling has regressed, Abdul Samad stopped bowling, Venkatesh Iyer, Vijay Shankar, Shivam Dube...they're hardly bowling these days, on top of that this doofus rule of power player in IPL which is now creeping up in SMAT as well.

 

Bowling allrounders might still find a way to survive. But batting allrounders are now an endangered species.

 

 

sarfaraz khan used to bowl in U19 as well

There are a lot of interested people who want their "man" in the team.

 

1) Regions trying to get their local man in.

2) IPL teams trying to get their man in.

3) Advertisers trying to get their man in.

4) Politicians trying to get their local man in.

5) Ex-players trying to get their favorite player in.

6) The man himself pulling strings to get himself in.

7) Lastly there are the ones who truly deserve to be in.

 

All this results in  unsettled chaos and it is not going to get better with Herr Dravid in there. An external coach may be able to tune some of the above out.

IPL is be-all and end-all to most
