Of all the bowlers selected in A team they went the tried and tested route ans selected medium pacers.

They could have taken risk for the A games.

 

With this current A tour it being designed to support the senior team in England, trying out the likes of Tyagi or Imran when they've played no FC in ages is too much of a gamble. They need the nous of being able to bowl over after over over a day which the more experienced Ranji bowlers will have even with their lack of pace

These kind of A tours servers no purposes, neither they are developing a good set of upcoming player nor it gives any idea which player is in form or not.

 

If a regular players does not perform in these matches will they be dropped from test side for that tour  .....??? 

These are just warm-up matches and gives the time for star player to join later per their convenience

Tbh I think the break up of IPL hasn't helped in this regard. Otherwise the point would be to get test players attuned to English conditions. Ideally Sai and Gill maybe even others would be playing

Its more an Admin decision on how they see these A tours to be.

 

Imo a team should arrive as a team and return as a team. There were some liberties given to player which have have used/misused.

At some point the ability to bowl a few fast deliveries has to translate into the skill to take wickets as these bowlers progress through levels. None of these guys have shown any such skill. Ultimately it is wickets that is a bowlers currency. Just hurling the ball really fast gives you a Shoaib AKhtar type character at best. Made a lot of noise but played only a few tests, was mostly injured and didn't help his team win anything. 

Would take a few bowlers with a Shoaib Akhtar type of career. 
 

Had fitness issues but produced some special performances.

Well..... Do I even need to reply to this? :) You hit your leg at the axe, the moment you took Shoaib Akhtar's name :) Nuff said!

Karthik finally played for KKR and was impressive .

He should get more chances this season.

He bowled 145 K +bowled fast,bowled Yorkers and mixed slower balls well.

Mohammad Sami would be a more appropriate example. Akhtar was a much better bowler and I wouldn't mind having him in the squad.

Karthik has played 2 matches and should play more matches.

Unadkat singlehandedly ruined SRHs chances yesterday or in other words he bowled very very poorly in a low scoring match,not the first time and neither will be the last time he has bowled match loosing spells still he's picked regularly

Test cricket is no longer prioritised as it was during Akhtar's playing days.

 

Apart from Test series against ENG and AUS, we are playing only 2 Tests per series against the rest. And that's true for all Test nations nowadays. 

 

Apart from freaks like Bumrah , it's difficult to develop multi-format fast bowlers and even batsmen for that matter. 

 

It's part of the reason why some of these guys haven't progressed and why even other teams like Australia are struggling to produce fast bowlers like they used to.

Ashok Sharma has shifted from Rajasthan to Gujarat, Tyagi should also shift from UP to another state

On a summer morning in 2024, Kartik Tyagi decided to put an indefinite pause on his competitive cricket days.

 

A recurring shin splints issue that first surfaced in 2021 kept holding him back. Regular rehab at multiple facilities couldn't keep the injury at bay, and he made just six IPL appearances between the 2022 and 2024 seasons.

 

I just couldn't play big matches. I couldn't bowl too many overs in practice. It was getting difficult for me especially in 50-over and first-class games. So that gave me a lot of problems," Tyagi recalled to Cricbuzz before IPL 2026.

 

Ahead of the 2024 IPL, he resolved to treat the shin splints once the tournament was done, only to pick up a side strain as well

 

And so, Tyagi pressed the pause button. From that moment in May 2024, it would be 19 months until he played another top-level game.

 

Tyagi has a history of remodeling his bowling action, with the intention always stemming from the need to ease the load on his body. This time, it was an excessive out-jump in his load-up, coupled with his non-bowling arm moving away, that were important issues to address. But there was more to it.

 

The answer arose from the length of Tyagi's run-up and the way he was running in. The recurrence of the injury convinced him to shorten his run-up. "

[tweaker]

Six months under Kaushik's watchful eyes brought Tyagi back on track. His first step back into competitive cricket was an 18-wicket season for Meerut Mavericks in the UP T20 League 2025. Still one of the fastest bowlers in the competition, still bowling the tough overs.

 

With his remodeled action, it took Tyagi six months to clock his high speeds again. With more bowling, muscle memory has taken over and firmed up his rhythm with this new action.

 

To date, Tyagi has played just four first-class matches, the latest of those coming in the second leg of the last Ranji Trophy season. That he managed to send down 27 overs across two innings without any discomfort was perhaps the biggest indicator yet that the sport had welcomed him again.

[tweaker]

Tyagi will need a year to play Ranji season to make his body ready to bowl.atleast 10 overs a day.

 

So from the express bowlers only Ashok Sharma can be considered as he has played every tournament in domestic and has played IPL and is selected for A team 

[tweaker]

Karthik new action has helped him to be fit for full season of IPL.

 

It's heartening,he was able to bowl at 150 k with the new action.

 

With more bowling he may gain more speed, accuracy and he may get his Yorkers right.

 

He should shift to a Ranji side where he is sure starter in the playing 11.

[tweaker]

Tyagi made his first-class debut when just 16. Then he was India's most successful bowler at the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, and in IPL 2020, he was the most successful fast bowler after Jofra Archer for Rajasthan Royals. Bowling at speeds between 145kph and 150kph brought him in the spotlight, but he did more than just bowl fast. His death-bowling smarts helped him defend just four runs in a final over of an IPL game

 

However, it's been grim reading since then. He played just four IPL matches in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2023, just one in 2024, and missed 2025 altogether. And despite making his first-class debut in 2017, he only has four matches in the format against his name, just 20 List A games, and a total of 37 T20s.

 

The last few months have been different, though. He has played in all three formats domestically for Uttar Pradesh in the 2025-26 season, with the 18 wickets in 11 games at the UPT20 league in August-September Last year
