clearing out the dead wood before the west indies series

[Manny_Pacquiao]

either Laxman or Dravid at 5 since we are playing against WI at home so it's time we give a break to Dravid or Laxman before the other Test series. Similarly I would rest Dhoni as well since the guy has played non-stop for a long time and what better series to rest than the WI one. As for spinners' date=' try out Ojha and Ashwin and also get in Varun Aaron to see what he is capable of.[/quote'] dravid and laxman dont need a break, they are test specialists and dont play any other form of cricket.

This is the ideal playing eleven considering Sehwag's injury. A fully fit Sehwag will replace Mukund. Also, this assumes Laxman has retired. Mukund Gambhir Dravid SRT Cheteshwar Pujara Rohit Sharma/Virat Kohli Dhoni PK Ishant Ravi Ashwin Magic bowler...Maybe Aaron or Umesh Yadav? Missing Cheteshwar Pujara and Zaheer Khan is one of the major reasons why India has struggled in this England series. Pujara is a top class test batsman and he would've done well in these conditions. :finger: IPL.

Kohli in Raina out Viru and Gambo out Mukund and Pujara in Zaheer out Aaron in(or any other bowler who's doing well in FC)

I would give opportunity to each youngster in the ranks to get some international exposure. The probable 20 list that I would pick players from is : Openers Gambhir Mukund Dinesh Karthik Middle order batsmen Kohli Rohit Pujara Rahane Raina Yuvraj Laxman Dravid Sachin Dhoni Spinners Mishra Ojha Pacemen RP Singh Ishant Sreesanth Munaf Praveen *Resting Sehwag, Harbhajan, Zaheer To select 15 man for the squad would be rather difficult. Still my squad will be :- Dhoni © Gambhir (vc) Mukund Sachin Dravid Laxman Rohit Pujara Yuvraj Mishra Ojha Sree Ishant PK Munaf And the playing XI will be shuffled in every Test so as to try and test every player. In one game we will drop VVS and get in Rohit and Pujara, in the other we will drop Sachin and get in Yuvi or someone else. In the similar way, the fast bowlers will be rotated too. Get in Praveen and ishant in the firts, Sree and Ishant in the second and Pk and Munaf in the third or something like that. Test every player to select the best possible 15-16 for the tour downunder.

There is no way that Laxman will retire just before a series against Australia.
