 Rohit Sharma said he wants to have 8-9 fast-bowling options before travelling to Australia for the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting on November 22 in Perth. When India announced the squad for the three-Test New Zealand series, they named Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav, Nitish Reddy and Prasidh Krishna in the travelling reserves.

Prasidh seems to have injured himself once again during the first round of the Ranji Trophy but the other three are with the main squad in Bengaluru, which will host the first India-New Zealand Test from October 16 (Wednesday). The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep are part of the main squad, while Mohammed Shami is still recovering from an injury. There’s Yash Dayal too who was picked for the Bangladesh series.

He just wants fast bowling options, he doesn't care whether they bowl well or not!

Virat will get minimum 3 100s

If Mayank ,Harshit ,Nitish are going to Australia, they should make debut against New Zealand. 

Bumrah,Siraj should be rested for 2nd test.

[tweaker]

For the top.3 position there are many alternatives .

In the A team also most of the batsman selected are openers.Middle order batsman arre  selected such that there is no pressure on.Rahul.

 

Patidar was preferred over Sarfaraz in England series,but now he is not even considered for A team.

[Serpico]

Smith scored a duck today in Shield game. In first innings he made 3(29)

The team don’t have plan B

There is plan B..play askashdeep or Mayank in place of Shami

 

Rahul..replace with Sarfaraz or even the spinning all-rounders or pandya as a pure batsman. Even Jurel is better 

 

Siraj is not going to be in form..he hasn't been in form for long time except against sri Lanka...so Mayank or askashdeep or harshit..

 

Injuries to other players .ya then we are in a bad situation.

The problem is that the team management is very rigid.

If they have selected Sarfaraz, Jurel,Akashdeep, most of the problems would have been solved.

 

They are hell bent on supporting Rahul and Siraj and in the process has lost the first test.

 

This tactics got successful against Bangladesh but got exposed against New Zealand. 

 

If they don't rectify it ,we may even loose the home series
