Nkr is more like a part timer currently.

Reddy is opening bowler for Andhra pradesh and he has played in more than 25 games.He has bowled almost 3000 deliveries in Ranji trophy.He has most probably not recovered from his injury .

UK will have a barnstorming heatwave from June 17. So pitches will be flat. Kuldeep a possibility if it holds true though now its gloomy and raining outside

That one hundred is 249 despite batting lower down the order. 

Wasim Akram has 257 not out batting at number 8, it did not make him an allrounder either. If Jurel was good enough batsmen he would have batted in top 4 in FC cricket.But he is ready to play as batsman only in Indian team . India is lacking batsmen , we have to play a WK as batsman.

Actually I think bumrah,Siraj and prasidh is a better attack than England will field this series if they bowl accurately and can sustain their control. There is a sharp drop off after that with Thakur or NKR. Jadeja will be ineffective as usual in England that's why I think playing Kuldeep is important to ensure there is another attacking option to challenge their batsmen apart from bumrah

Shami should have been here and shouod have made to play these 2 matches to get his fitness back. Instead he is resting in his armchair

This Eswaran dude should not have been the captain. Atleast Karun nair

I think Shami is done.He is just too old but unfortunately there is noone who is even 50% of his ability in the system.

Kamboj is like a poor man's Kyle abbott at present. Have to tell him to maintain his speed. He can be useful.

Anderson and Root added 198 for the last wicket against us :) Let us not what we had in early 2010s.  Most recently Lyon and Boland tortured us with a partnership.

Good chance to test his test match readiness and FC captaincy chops

India's best chance is to exploiting their bazball attempt with tactical in out field set. I don't think these noob captains like Eswaran can do that. India needs a thinking captain.

Akram was a bowling AR,he wasn't never a mug with the bat

Iyer is playing mumbai pl now because he has no other engagements. Credit to him. He wants to prove a point.

Maybe but This is an unfair comparison tbh. Shardul isn't in the squad as a front line bowler.
