Axar can come in as 3rd spinner/no. 7 in India for sure. 

 

I forgot Jurel. So he comes in for Vihari/Easwaran. Basically we need a Pujara type tuk tuk bat who can play till the ball is old. Gill is such a misfit at 3.

 

Harshit was removed after 1 bad game. Did well in Perth.

Don't forget sarfraz.

Jaiswal

Ruturaj

Sai

KLR / Sarfaraz

Pant (wk) 

Jurel (wk) / Tilak 

NKR/ Axar (depending on conditions) 

Sundar

Bumrah

Siraj

I don't think Musheer is ready yet, maybe 3 years from now 

Drop Gill until he piles on runs In red ball games

First of all make sure this is the set up

 

5 pure batsman no allrounder or wk bat **** just pure batter all their life

 

Pant

 

Pure batter /batting all rounder key is batting all rounder who should be good enough to average 40+ and could bowl decent if no such player is available go with a pure batter

 

4 best bowler 1 of which should be pure spinner no all rounder bullshit 

 

So this is my proposed team

 

JAISWAL

RAHUL

RITURAJ/SAI

GILL

TILAK VERMA/SARFARAJ 

PANT

REDDY/PANDYA

KULDEEP/CHAKRABORTY/ANY WRIST SPINNER

KRISHNA

KULDEEP SEN/SIRAJ

BUMRAH

 

this team will won a lot more than loose

Musheer Khan

Sundar

Pant (c)(wk)

NKR

Akash/Kuldeep

Musheer is promising but needs a lot more experience on A tours.

Sai

Gill

Jurel 

NKR

Pant 

M Suthar

Lol you deliberatley named him seperately, come on dude its obvious. He should be the first name in batsmen and not seperate.

I named him separately because he's a wicketkeeper batsman not for any other reason. 

 

You're overthinking it.

Sundar, NKR are both essentially batsmen who also bowl a bit. I don't see many specialist bat options in FC anyway

They are not batters who can bat against the new/semi new ball. Only good in the lower order. 

 

If we can't find one more batsman , we should give up the format. 

 

Also, there are the kikes of Sai and Pradosh Ranjan Paul.

I included Sai as opener/ no. 3. Sundar and Nitish at 5-7 so mostly v old ball.

For tests in England in 2025 ....

 

1. Jaiswal

2. Rahul / Sai 

 

3. Jurel

4. Gill / Sarfraz

5. Pant 

6. NKR / Pradosh Paul

 

7. Washington / Axar 

 

8. Harshit

9. Prasidh / Mayank / Sen

10. Bumrah

11. Siraj / Arshdeep Singh

 

 

....  Want to play 4 proper pacers after removing deadwoods Ro-Ko and picking 7 in-form batters. This will reduce Bumrah's workload.

....  2 pacers + NKR who will swing the ball.  Bumrah and Siraj with Arshdeep Singh as backup. 

.... 2 tall pacers who will bounce the ball at pace if pitch flattens in the 2nd innings.  Harshit and Prasidh. It would be nice when we get Mayank Yadav ready. 

....  Washington is my spinner all-rounder with Axar as backup.

....  Sai Sudarshan is backup opener.

....  Sarfraz and Pradosh Paul are backup MO batters.

Jurel

Pant

Reddy

Sundar

Bumrah

Harshit

You can easily construct a lineup with 5 batters + Pant. 

 

Reddy has to up his bowling or he should not play Tests.

Next Assignment is in England, our historical nemesis.

Yashasvi Jaiswal 
Abhimanyu Easwaran 

Dhruv Jurel
Sai Sudharshan/Gill

Pant (wk)
Nitish Kumar Reddy/Raj Bawa (one allrounder who can bowl pace)
Sundar/Axar/Sindhu (one allrounder who can bowl spin)
Harshit Rana/ Gurnoor Brar (one tall hit the deck pacer who can also bat)

Akashdeep/Vaibhav (one swing bowler)
Bumrah

Siraj/Arshdeep (second swing bowler)

Need pace bench pus pace bowling allrounders.

 

Don't think can win against Eng.

 

Might sneak a win or two in matches but series doesn't look like. Carse/Atkinson are decent bowlers but they extend the tail as well.

 

Aim should be to develop Reddy's bowling further and maybe fast track Bawa?

 

2028-29 and 2032-33 season should be targeted.

 

28-29 specifically as Bumrah will still be there in his last good years.

 

Jaiswal will be 26, Reddy 26, Sundar 30, Pant 31

Six bowlers too much.

 

Develop Reddy/Bawa so they can be decent 5th bowler.

 

No need to play the spin bowling all rounder on some pitches. Other pitches can remove one of the swing bowlers.

Gill is youn. Needs to go back to domestic, one year away from international cricket will do him good. KL no chance of improvement. We need to decide if we can live with inconsistent performance.

Only problem with Bawa is we will become left handed dominant team
jaiswal, Sai, Bawa, pant, Washy/Axar all are leftie. So 5 out of 7 are left handed.
