India's squad for Afghanistan T20 series announced


Recommended Posts

Does Bumrah even need to play these matches and we wonder why he is injured for tests and other odi matches.

 

It is becoming increasingly evident Bumrah is wanting to become mainly a t20 player.Maybe his body is not upto it to play longer formats anymore.

 

I don't think anyone would have objected if he chose to skip this series and played in odi series to prepare for world cup.

Bro, I am about as ok with this pace attack as I was when when they forced Bumrah to play 5th test in BGT 25 despite niggle. 

 

Why put the career of our most precious gem, Bumrah, in jeopardy for a low importance tournament when he may not be fully. 

 

Really wanted Mayank and Tyagi.

 

 

Lots of India A cricket coming up though... Vs Australia at home and three FC matches in NZ.. (pretty weird we have 2 tests but 3 India A FC matches lined up in NZ):giggle:

 

Sept-Oct.. India A vs Aus A (home)

 

November.. India A v NZ A 3 Four day matches (away)

With Gurnoor likely to be in test squad, will play only 1 game.

 

And no other 140 kph pacer is being promoted for red ball. 

 

That means lots of opportunities for Kamboj, Nabi, Mukesh, Thakur etc. to get test match entry. 

 

This would change if Mayank or Tyagi get picked for India A red ball matches.

Good stuff. A tours is what differentiates SENAI from the rest.

Clashing with T20 and ODI series in NZ.

I think Gurnoor can at max play 1st game in NZ.

 

He will play ODI series by the time crucial FC game at Hagley Oval starts.  They should make sure every Indian test batter plays in that game... Especially Jaiswal Paddikal Jurel Kela even Pant Sadeja.  Just that game at least

Absolutely pathetic squad and selections. 
 

Should have included both Mayank and Tyagi. 

No point playing Bumrah. Also, Rana is another guy I’m not really a fan of. This Guy is super inconsistent in terms of rhythm and pace. We’ve got multiple options now and I don’t like compromises. 
He should first lose a significant amount of weight, play some first class matches and only then I would have even thought of considering him.

I keep saying this Agarkar is a lost cause. And how long is this guy gonna occupy this chief selector position?? Is this some some gov office??

How four players who are consistent injury prone are selected for a series against Afghanistan.

 

Gautam don't have guts to get on field without Bumrah even for a T20 series against Afghanistan.

 

After the loss against Ireland, I don't think they may ever select youngsters again.

Ridiculous selections. Perfect opportunity to try out young/untested players but as usual the same old clique are selected to pad out their stats.

 

Personal milestones > future team success.

Unless Mayank and Tyagi get to play red ball cricket, they will never be match fit.

 

Golden opportunity missed to field them in Duleep Trophy.

Also, exclusion of Mayank doesnt make sense. He bowled very well in the recently concluded vs Zimbabwe. 

 

Him playing another series vs Afghanistan would have been a great learning curve in the flat conditions of India. Afghanistan is a stronger side than Zimbabwe. 

 

Bumrah needs to play the Tests, he has achieved 2 T20 WorldCups. ODI WC 2027 & Test Champions should be his next goal. 

ODI series vs WI followed by ODI & Test series vs NZ.
