KL shouldn't play ahead of Pant in ODIs. Pant had very good record in ODIs after 2019 WC - average 44, s/r 110 or something.

That was before his accident though. We have no idea how he is going to pull up in other formats

India should not make the mistake of playing Kohli and Rohit. 

 

In 2017, we continued with Dhoni and Yuvraj and by the time the World Cup arrived, we didn't have a #4 and we didn't have a proper wk/batter.  

 

Need to get enough matches into those who are likely to play 2027. 

With only 6 ODIs left before CT we cannot go with everyone so green.

I'll take Jaiswal and Harshit Rana for CT...and maybe Parag as well.

 

Ro KO will be there.  Idk if we will go to Pak or not... But Lahore is a belter..where we are tentatively scheduled to play all games.

 

Jaiswal

Rohit

Kohli

Iyer/Parag

Pant

HP

Axar

Harshit

Kuldeep

Bumrah

Siraj/Arshdeep

 

This is ideal line up for UAE and Pak conditions

Hopefully Physios and NCA will assess before selection

It should be a green side. What is the point of Ro Ko if they aren't making it to 2027?

 

CT is a useless trophy . The aim is to win the World Cup.

 

Let the newer guys experience an ICC trophy and if they fail, so be it. 

 

They will be better off for the experience.  

 

We won an ODI series in South Africa recently without Ro/Ko.

 

Got to continue in that vein.

KL did fairly well in the World Cup apart from the final. 

 

If Pant is back to his best , then one of KL/Iyer will miss out definitely. 

 

Otherwise the only other option is Samson. 

 

No other realistic options.

Realistically speaking they aren't going anywhere.  Rohit's final shot is CT25 and maybe even Kohli's.

After this title win it would be incredibly hard for BCCI and selectors to leave them out.  They are cult figures atm.

Nothing can be done.

Kohli will definitely target 2027. Rohit needs to be fitter

That should mean more pace bowling resources, allrounders and batsmen who can play on seaming tracks... 

that only means one thing.. the player we are waiting for.. Lord Shardul Thakur

Pant should get minimum 10 games including CT 2025. 

 

KL just saps the energy even if he does well himself. Mentally very poor.

 

Iyer should be shunned considering 2027 WC is in SA. Can't see him doing well there.

 

Jaiswal

Gill

Pant

Parag

Rinku

Pandu

Axar

 

This should be more or less the batting we should aim to build

1) Will BCCI allow the team to travel Pak?? 

2) Rohit & Virat both are definitely targeting 2027 WC. I'm certain Virat will be in the WC team unless a drastic change happen. With Rohit all comes down to his fitness but he has specifically said in an interview he wants to continue till 2027 WC. 

 

Team will probably look like this 

 

Rohit

Gill

Virat

Iyer

Hardik

Pant

Rahul

Jadeja

Axar

Bumrah

Shami

Suraj

Arshdeep

Kuldeep

Jaiswal 

 

I'd like to see someone who can bat at 4/5 and give 6-7 overs of spin in ODIs, probably Musheer Khan if he grooms well enough.

Pant is not an ODI #3. Doesn't have the technique for it.

Jay Shah confirmed that all seniors will be going to CT 2025.  So no point making fancy team with youngsters.

1. Rohit & Virat will be there.
2. KL will be there as well as a backup keeper to Pant.
3. Shami will be back as well.
4. Jadeja is 50-50 as spin allrounder quota since Axar can pip him. Both can also go.

Probable Squad (15)

Rohit

Jaiswal
Virat

Gill
KL (wk)

Pant ( wk)

Rinku

Pandya

Jadeja

Axar

Kuldeep
Shami
Bumrah
Arshdeep
Siraj

Let's not send our team to a country where radicals are roaming 24*7 wearing multiple uniforms.

The excuse of providing "sufficient security" is a lie as there might be radicals within the security forces itself who would like to "hurt and enjoy" Indians...let alone cricketers.

 

The only way to make this happen is if India sends its own security, cook and other required personnel into that land and keep the Pak security forces atleast 50kms away. But we all know that's never gonna happen.

 

In my view it will be an utter foolishness if Indian team goes to CT host country. We need to come up with Asia Cup like arrangement, else withdraw back the name from the tournament.

Spot On !  For CT 25  no Green kids will be picked . There is not enough ODI matches for that till CT 25.

These 15 are very very near to what i had in my mind for CT25 unless there are injuries .

Only toss up could be Rinku vs Iyer as it is SC/ UAE pitches and probably Iyer may sneak in  purely due to Rinku not playing enough ODI for India. 

But CT 25 should be swan song for Rohit,VK  Shammi & Jaddu.

Chance to youngsters in ODI will happen post CT25 and am sure Gambhir will push for it.
