The players from the rest of the subcontinent who could make it to the current Indian squad

[maniac]

Hi Guys, I just had this thought...who from the current 3 other subcotinent teams i.e Pak,Ban,SL could have walked into the current Indian squad. I know,There have been threads in the past about unified subcoontinet teams but what I am trying say here is- being the No1 Test team and the top 3 ODI side are we missing any talent that we wish was ours. Are there any players from the current squads of the remaining parts of the subcontinent,we secretly wish could have played for us? I remember a lot of us while enjoying the off-field entertainment Pak has provided to us still agreed at one point that Amir was one of the top emerging talents, but we all know how that turned out to be.Murali is retired. We have so much abundance in batting talent that we wouldn't even consider looking at the other sides. We have the best Wicket Keeping allrounder who also happens to be one of our more succesful captains Talking about fast bowling currently- Gul and co from the current Pak squad(Playing SA) are as ordinary as our pie throwers in subcontinental conditions judging by today's match.Malinga maybe,Shoaib too much of a trouble maker.Our board is way too well organised too tolerate his behaviour.Razzaq maybe in his prime but he is over the hill now. The only 2 players I can think of are maybe Angelo Matthews from Srilanka and Shakib from Bangladesh who might have had a remote chance of making it into the current Indian lineup.Please don't bring retired,banned and suspended players or legends into this discussion.

Test: Sangakara Malinga ODI: Afridi???,Shakib,Mathews

:omg: Instead of leaving him alone to work on the pitch, I'd tie him to the roller and roll him on the pitch. That way everyone's happy: 1) All of us seeing him bite the dust 2) Afridi, 'coz he's getting cozy with the pitch 3) The roller, 'coz he thinks he's killing 2 birds with a stone: i) doing his job rolling ii) having his way with Afridi

Malinga 100% Sangakara possibly

[daryl1985]

If we are not including Amir or Asif then: SL Sangakkara (tests and ODI's) Malinga (both as well) Angelo Matthew's )Both squads probably) Pak Afridi (ODI's - he is better than Jadeja or Yusuf Pathan) Bang Shakib Al-Hasan (Odi's) Tamim Iqbal (ODI Squad)

[thongale]

SL - Sangakkara (in both as a specialist batsman) Malinga (both versions) Mathews (ODI bowler) Opted Muralitharan out because only plays ODI PAK Saeed Ajmal (both formats over any Indian spinner) Opted Shoaib out because only plays ODI BAN Shakib AL Hasan (both formats over any Indian spinner) Combined Asian Test XI Sehwag, Gambhir, Sangakkara*, Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Dhoni+, Shakib, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Malinga, On current form, Jayawardane over Dravid and Ajmal over Harbhajan. Combined Asian ODI XI Sehwag, Dilshan, Tendulkar, Sangakkara / Yuvraj, Raina, Dhoni*+, Shakib Al Hasan, Mathews, Umar Gul, Malinga, Saeed Ajmal On career, Yuvraj, but on current form, Sangakkara no question. Kulasekara, Tamim, and Zaheer mighty unlucky.
