Is our team really a ‘young team’?

[sage]

 

[vvvslaxman]

It is young in terms of actual match experience. 

[rkt.india]

You can say inexperienced team. Jaiswal, Sudarshan, prasidh, sundar, nair, reddy. It's their first England tour. 

[Number]

How about number of tests ?

[Gollum]

Karun, Thakur have no future after this.

 

Jadeja shouldn't hang on for much long. 

 

So yeah, this is a young side. 

[The Realist]

Finally somebody has the stats to show this is not a "young side" which we often have rammed down our throats. Its full of 30+ in the line up. And even those on the bench are not exactly spring chickens - Easwaran, Yadav, Deep etc. 

 

If anything Eng are more raw with like of Smith, Carse & Tongue.  

[Lord]

Young by experience. 

[vayuu1]

Prasidh siraj thakur nair and jadeja are done and dusted need to look after their alternatives ASAP if say organise more A tours prepare normal pitches where bending back is rewarded and let those who are not part of squad play county especially young ones, don't see how that won't improve team 

[deathmonger]

Mean vs median.

 

Karun and Thakur are just filler. Jadeja close to retirement.

 

Only KL has medium term prospects.

 

England has a lot of core in the late 20s range-early 30s range. India only Bumrah, Siraj. Apart from that only younger.

[Lone Wolf]

English team is younger and a lot of their players are in their mid to late 20's.

To beat such a side requires more players who are close to hitting their own peak.

Past it players like jh*ateja G@ndul Nair are net negatives.

[bowl_out]

Just like CSK this year who put up a bunch of uncapped players  like Mhatre, Urvil and MSD
