He should himself be mindful of diving in the Outfield or anything. Bowling 8 overs in a week is not much of a issue. These are basic workload management etiquettes but for BCCI dihatis this sounds elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be taken to the cleaners. Babar and Rizwan were rated #1 and #3 in T20I's. The rankings in this format can't be taken seriously. Anyway , even if it is Bishnoi, I still think 3 fast bowlers is the way. Lord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick another pacer or another batting allrounder like Riyan If you need the extra pacer, just drop Kuldeep and play the extra pacer . Washington's hitting is not good enough. In fact there is no spin allrounder who is reliable in his hitting in the entire country including Axar unfortunately. Can't afford 2 of these.

Seems to be bowling against his natural style. Brar is good option on current form. We'd definitely need 8 overs of quality spin on those pitches.

Need a backup for every slot to cover for injuries. 1 backup batter 1 backup pacer 1 backup keeper-batsman 1 backup spinner who can come in at 8 if needed. Let's say one among Kuldeep or Axar gets a niggle before a match. Would you like to play just 1 specialist spinner on a slow WI track. ?

If the wicket favours spin then doesn't make sense to replace Kuldeep with a pacer. Parag isn't a frontline or reliable spinner. And Dube's role is hit big from the start while Parag is different. Altering the team composition, if there is a niggle, messes up the team. Mosher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on slower pitches, fast bowlers can bowl into the pitch with slower ball variations. Messing the combination etc. are myths that we cannot buy into. Australia have consistently exposed these myths with their LOI cricket They only picked 1 specialist spinner and they made it work. India are the only team foolish enough to pick 3 specialist spin options in a squad. . I was talking about Hardik. His hitting won't work on a slow pitch. Replace Hardik with Riyan. You specifically mentioned if a spinner gets injured. So I was talking about a scenario when Kuldeep gets injured. And what we can do in that scenario.
