Give chances to new faces, other players in 11 for west indies odis

[Lord]

He is definite for playing XI Rohit Sharma ‏@ImRo45 4h Thank you people it's overwhelming to see such kind of love and support.. Now in Kolkata for an exciting test series

lol thats hiw own tweet. Rahane did well in Ranji match at Lahli.not sure why he should lose his place after warming the bench for so long We have to seperate formats here.ODI form on such pattas shouldnt mean anything

[YoungTalent]

Vijay, Dhawan, Pujara, Rohit, Dhoni, Ashwin, Ojha, Ishant and Yadav should skip the WI ODI series and go early to South Africa

[GrandMasterSaxy]

Rest senior players ??? i believe they had a long break just before the Aus-Ind ODIs. The opponent is West Indies and not Bangladesh or Zimbabwe, their batsmen are equally dangerous on Indian pitches. Two youngsters can be included in the place of Raina and Yuvraj.

[King Tendulkar]

Bring in the youngsters and when god forbid they fail' date=' OP can freely bash the IPL for having destroyed Indian cricket![/quote'] exactly:haha:

[rkt.india]

^ If we do as you say' date=' then some of these players likely to pick an injury and be out of the SA series. Yes, so they are fragile and not very fit as they ought to be, but what to do - these are Indian players, and thats how they are. So, do you want to risk a non-full-strength team to SA?[/quote'] Who is fragile in top order? This is one of the fittest top order you will ever see.

[rkt.india]

exactly:haha:

and they are all young. Which youngsters we need bring in now?

[Sidhoni]

Rest Dhoni and Kohli. Bring in Samson and Rahane. Drop Mishra, Ishant and Vinay. Bring in Rasool, Mohit and Yadav

[saneindian]

What exactly had Samson to get an India cap? Played some knocks in IPL and a recent 200 in FC cricket? Is that enough to get into Team India? His keeping is very shoddy. And while there are calls for Samson to be given his debut, lets give a chance to Chand and Baba Aparajith as well.

[ShebbySB]

First XI:-Rohit©,Dhawan,Pujara,Yuvi,Raina,Rayudu,Jadeja,Rasool,BK,Shami,Mohit. Squad rotation players:-Samson,Nadeem,Suyal,Rahul Shukla.Aaron has not played anything for 1.5 years,let him play 1 good full season then he should be considered for selection.Kohli,Dhoni & Ashwin should be rested.Drop Vinay,Ishant,Unadkat,Mishra.Pandey should only get selected for tests ri8 nw,shd nt be risked at ODIs.Unadkat & Mishra bowled like a boss against ZIM but we saw their true colour against Australia :giggle:

[ShebbySB]

Abhisek Nayar & Kedar Yadav are not far away from an ODI call up.If Yuvi & Raina continues to disappoint then one of them will get into the squad,while Rayudu will get some first team action.

What works for Smason is that he is a keeper.

[Sooda]

We should have played a 2nd string vs WI. Or Indeed NOT had a ODI series at all and allowed the senior players to get to SA early play a couple of practice matches to get into the right mindset.
