Prasidh's steep bounce at pace adds a different dimension to the Indian bowling.

 

It would be a big mistake if we leave out Prasidh from the Asia Cup and WC sides.

 

We need this extra bounce. 

 

Infact we need more such pacers once the WC is over.  Mayank Y, Harshit, Sen, Tyagi, Hangargekar. 

 

Prasidh is needed more in SA tour later this year. Need to save him for that as he tends to get injured easily.

I want Prasidh in the squad and use him on surfaces which are not too slow. 

 

7. Jadeja / Axar

8. Shardul / Axar

9. Bumrah

10. Kuldeep / Prasidh

11. Siraj / Prasidh 

 

My only slight concern is death bowling. If we play Prasidh, Bumrah and rest Siraj...death bowling may go for a toss as Prasidh isn't known for his death bowling skills..neither does Pandya and Shardul.

 

On grounds like Dharamshala..I would be tempted to go for all 3 quicks but that means I will have to drop Kuldeep to have batting till 8.

 

It's going to be a jigsaw puzzle...our lack of batting ability at the tail can hurt us big.

Most likely we'll have Axar or Kuldeep at 8

Kuldeep at 8 means we will have 4 tailenders. Kuldeep is a blocker and that's it.

It's a big dilemma.

During the 2014 to 2016 period, the same was said about Shami. Let's rest him most of the time and use him in big matches. 

 

But I have always advocated playing regularly for better match fitness.

 

Shami has become fitter once he has started playing lots of matches.

 

Wrapping bowlers in cotton wool is a recipe for disaster.

We got to play Kuldeep as well, thats three duds batting wise in the 11. We just cant afford anymore

It seems like it's a 3 place fight amongst Bumrah, Siraj, Prasidh and Kuldeep for no 9-11.

While for 7-8 we will have fight between Axar, Jaddu and Shardul.

it will be terrible having jaddu the tuk-tuker at 7 or 8. if jaddu plays, he should bat at 5 or 6 at max.

Yup, but I think that's how it's going to be.

Jaddu will bat at 7, Shardul at 8. Axar will rotate based on pitch and conditions and who is rested.

6 is going to be Pandya's (unless he injures himself)..and then 5 batters.

it's better if pandu injures himself. better combo is jaddu at 6, axar at 7, and thakur at 8

In reality we will see Bumrah, Shami and Chahal / Kuldeep at 9 to 11 and Jadeja and Shardul at 7 and 8.

 

This TM.will just pick the seniors.

I don't think so.

 

we will see: jaddu at 7, lord at 8, undercutter at 9, mukesh coomer at 10, and chahal at 11.

Seniority love is the only thing that is bigger than trundler love in India. Which is why Bumrah and Shami will play. 

 

(  it is just incidental that Seniors Bumrah and Shami are much better bowlers than than Trundlers Mukesh and Unadkat )

but undercutter is a senior (30+) and trundler. I will not be surprised if BCCI and TM make an "innovative" selection and play one of undercutter and mukesh

Don't have much hopes, one injury and Bhuvi Bhaiya will get SOS call from UP T20 league.

He is experienced trundler..both boxes checked.

If they don't select him, it will look as very idiotic selection as literally 2 months away before the WC..he was seen as all format pacer.

Sums up how messed our selectors and their thinking are.

Can't play three spinners in wc due to dew factor

Then it'll be Thakur though I prefer Shami.
