The issue here is most experts and fans are not saying core of his non-selection is lacks of pace he was bowling 130ish kmph in IPl, Its fair to assume it will go down by atleast 5kmph in tests.

 

Sub 135 kmph does not works unless wkts is offering too much , which does not happen in home conditions, Ind plays with 2 seamers in Ind condition can he be #1 or #2 bowler ??

 

Ashok --Highest wkt taker in Smat is not picked for T20is

Ankur -- Highest wkt taker in VHT not picked in Ipl for get Odis

 

And if going by top wkt taker in ranji season then none of bhumrah, shami, umesh, Ishant, Ashwin,bhuvi were the top wkt taker in a ranji season think only jadeja was top wkt taker. These bowler also leap forged a lot of other top wit taker.

 

Intnl cricket is not about top wkt taker in or run getter its what team needs and if they have that x-factor for itnl cricket.

 

 

I have to share a truth which some of you may know, and some of you may not know at all-

 

Players that represent first 15 of STATE teams are no where the BEST TALENT of the STATE neither batsmen nor fast bowlers)

the one's with JACK , one's who has connections and people who are selecting like few bowlers n batsmen ..only those are picked.

i played for Mumbai CLUBS and i had to face some bowlers who were better and faster than dhwal Kulkarni. i faced a bowler in one of the matches who took 5 wickets ( including me) and i was like not able to see his pace properly.;

atleast 50 fast bowlers in Mumbai were faster than dhwal Kulkarni - i agree dhwal was accurate but accuracy can be improved. they only selected one set of bowlers and did not change their pace attack. even ZAK who was was super fast during that time , he was not picked.

 

just think DHWAL in the Mumbai 11 and Zaheer Khan serving water..............

Sanjay Manjrekar played Zaheer Khan directly in Ranji match . After Manjrekar retired, Zaheer was not selected.

Zaheer shifted to Boroda .p

How many such players may have been wasted.

 

There was a bowler Rakesh Patel ,who played for Boroda.He was fast and had a good action,but was left in wilderness

The Indian team management is likely to take the final call on Mohammed Siraj's workload within the next 48 hours ahead of the one-off Afghanistan Test. If the 32-year-old is rested, Auqib Nabi will replace him in the squad.

i was disappointed seeing Aquib in IPL..in case he plays in afghanisthan test match. he tries to tempt batsmen and get them to play wrong strokes , normally in an international test Match batsmen do not take such risks.
