fit? might be,match fit? no but he has 3 more months to get back in prime shape and get some ranji matches under his felt

But the OP was pretending that the series was starting next week :-). In that scenario, we are left with Yadav, B. Kumar and I. Sharma as our main quick-bowling weapons. In any case, the main question I was trying to get answered for myself was "who is SRT's replacement in the middle order?" And it appears to be someone among D. Karthik, Rohit Sharma, Rahane or Jaffer.

India should stop participating in anything cricket after Sachin's retirement 20 years from now.

[Cricketics]

then why did you pick Gambhir and Zaheer? They wont have nay practice too. Zaheer has not played for India since England test series.

If you look at it that way, then no one has played test cricket for a while then? We have to come up with 11 and hence I picked this time.

Out of gambhir, rahane, rohit, vijay, sehwag, I would just pick the 3 that are in the best first class form. And if they are all doing badly in first class then look at other batsman that have been doing well for a long time. In the last tour laxman was one the best batsman in the tournament and he only scored 1 50 out 6 inning, wasim jaffer almost scored series winning century had the middle order not collapsed. Just having a bunch of in form and confident players batting could make a huge difference.

I would bat Rohit ahead of Kohli.
