With Virat out of 1st 2 tests due to personal reasons:

 

Rohit (C)

Jaiswal

Gill

S Iyer

KL

R Jadeja

KS Bharat

Axar

Ashwin

Bumrah 

Siraj

India always have a safety first approach. Barring any last minute injury, this is the team they will be pick, maybe debate of Kuldeep vs Axar.

With Kohli out and likely Iyer to definitely be in now, India look a lot stronger on paper.

If it were up to you, who would be the keeper?

 

For me, however reluctantly, I would have to pick Bharat. He has kept to these spinners before and, as much as his batting is not up-to-par, I just feel like missed close catches and missed stumpings can be disastrous.

 

Unless, of course, they see something very very special in the nets from Jurel and the spinners can trust him.

I didnt like what I saw from Bharat last season. 

 

I know he scored a ton against the Lions but he just doesn't fill me with any confidence. 

 

I'm hoping Jurel is a good counter attacking player of spin .  If neither is the case, I think someone like Patidar should slot in and KL should keep.

KL rahul has to keep the wicket to provide the balance or he should not be in the team.

The day before the 1st Test, always an interesting time with selection, while we all speculate, its going to be fairly predictable.

[R!TTER]

Still taking this too lightly huh, let's see what the "dudlee" duo or fat arse/Dravid does this time!

[SRT100]

Hitman

Jaiswal

Gill

Iyer

KL

Jaddu

Bharat

Axar

Ashwin

Bumrah 

Siraj

 

This is the team. Kohli's absence saves some headaches over batting order selection.

 

I think Axar will get a chance first up over Kuldeep, especially given his batting prowess. India may go with Kuldeep over Axar if they are worried about bowing first.

 

Absolute solid and reliable batting to 10, Ashwin can and has scored centuries in the subcontinent.

 

At the end of the series, Im confident that Jaddu, Ash, and Axar will have outscored some of the English batsmen.

If not Patidar yet at least hoping against hope to see Jurel making his debut. 

 

YBJ Gill Jurel..  22-23 year olds always make a great playing XI.

Kl Rahul should be booted our from all formats. Pathetic loser.  Even old washed kohli is 100 times better.

obviously kohli is much better. even on current form, he is better than our top 7.

Dhruv Jurel is picked as backup keeper. Now, we should hope that KL Rahul gets injured or does badly behind stumps. Jurel likely to be a superstar in few years

my wish came true
