Not saying Afghan players don't do age fraud, but let us go easy on them. I am sure being born and brought up in warzones also makes them look older than they are, all the stress, refugee camp life, inadequate access to water/food, exposure to ammo, these things take a toll on one's hair/skin. 

 

Look at videos of 18-19 year old conscripts in WW-II, all looked older than they actually were.

We lost in QF of 2014 WC but that squad had Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Sanju, Kuldeep. 

 

Every squad of ours has thrown 2-3 high ceiling prospects. 

 

2012 was a hyped squad, and they beat Aussies in the final, in Australia. Unmukt Chand's team. No big name emerged from that bunch. 

 

My favorite squad was 2006 one (lost a cracking final against Pooks), gave us 3 future legends in Jadeja, Pujara, Rohit.

wow Temba Bavuma in the commentary box. He is talking about taking singles lol

Lord Bavuma is the greatest cricket mind among current players, just like Clive Lloyd he brought down Aussies in a final in Lord's. Whatever he says, better take a pen and note it down.

2012 still had one of the heroes of Sydney - Vihari

 

2008 had Kohli and Jadeja again

 

2010 had only KL as far as I can tell

 

If 2010 and 12 had given 3-4 prospects each we wouldn’t have had the dip we are having now and also would have won a few icc trophies in the decade between 13 and 24.

This lad standing with Rashid Khan is supposed to be 17.

2010 and 12 not providing prospects meant that in tests we jumped from Kohli-Pujara-Rohit-Rahane to Gill-Pant-Jaiswal-Jurel without anyone in between.

 

So one batch aged out and one hadn’t matured enough.

You forgot the great Kela lol keeper, middle order , opener.
