India players would be tired and carrying niggles going into Champions trophy after IPL.

I agree with RKT; Irfan Pathan will get a look in ahead of Jadeja. However, I think Jadeja will be in the squad and Dhoni's pig headedness means he may play 1 game which we will eventually lose due to new ODI rules.

^ Yep..Irfan should get a shot ahead of Jaddu. Better bat and bowler on those conditions.

What? He played some cameos in Australia. Look up his previous scores before laughing out loud. IIRC he was the higher scorer twice in the CB series matches and almost won us a game against SL.

Pathan has a test 100, has opened for India in tests. Dont know how people can even compare Jaddu and Pathan's batting. In terms of technique, Pathan has shown better technique than most Indian young batsmen. he has 11 50s and a 100 in Tests and ODIs combined and most of those 50 plus scores have been in top order.

Will Yuvraj's spot be up for discussion as well? Just doesn't look fit enough for international cricket right now. His pedigree and the likely public anger following a exclusion from the squad will ensure he keeps his spot, but he will have to improve his fitness and form.

[VRV Singh]

I will predict: Gambhir Dhawan Kohli Yuvraj Raina Rohit Dhoni Karthik Jadeja Ashwin Mishra I Pathan Yadav Ishant Sharma B Kumar Mishra is contentious (I would not take him) but perhaps they will want another frontline spinner, else he could be changed for VK. Saha and Rahane the other possible outsiders.

[JaFanatic]

my team: KKD Dhawan Kohli Yuvi Raina Dhoni Jaddu Ashwin BK Umesh Shami Reserves: Rayudu PK Rassool Irfan no point going back to GG,Sehwag,Mooli.

i dont approve this squad :orderorder:

[The Realist]

Just select players on form and there is little point picking more than two spinners beacuse of minimal turn on English pitches in June.
