With the ability that Yadav has, he could have been a top notch international cricketer by now in most set ups. It's depressing to see him part of A teams at this juncture of his career. For a fast bowler to be amongst the best at the international level with the limited and at his time minimal support, Kapil stands out more and more as years pass.

Umesh of 2012 and Umesh of 2015. Do you really see any development? I know we have to persist with him more so due to lack of a better alternative but they'd be discarded by now if they were playing for any country with good fast bowling stocks.
Outy is right if he had played for any other top country, he would have been a world class bowler by now.

Iyer has only played one season.
Yes, and I Dont think he should be represting A team already. Let him have at least 2 good seasons. Think he should play List A cricket for the A team though

What FC experience Waqar- Wasim had when they made their debuts. Most potential fast bowlers are picked early.
Waqar and Wasim did not have any first class experience when they were picked up to play for Pakistan but look at their career on the whole. First things first Pakistan had a legendary bowler in Imran who worked with them during the initial phase of their careers. Waqar and Wasim played lots of county cricket. India does not have a legendary bowler to work with Shami, Umesh or Aaron and none of these bowlers play county cricket. The half decent pacers we had in the last 20 years were Srinath and Zaheer. If you look at their careers, Zaheer came back a different bowler after his time in county cricket in 2006. He wasn't the same bowler before that season. Srinath had a full county season in 1994/95 and was completely a transformed bowler when he came back. So yes, you need a good amount of first class games for two reasons. 1. It will teach you to bowl in FC games as sometimes you need to bowl a lengthy spells. 2. It will help you to work on your bowling and your variations. Umesh Yadav coming in and telling to the press that he gives lots of runs because of his pace and he had a great world cup so should not be questioned shows his attitude. He does not want to play FC games. I would challenge both Aaron and Umesh to rest for the IPL and tell the same thing about wanting rest. These guys don't want to improve. They will be good to mediocre throughout their careers. They will never be even close to Wasim or Waqar even during their initial raw days they were better bowlers.

Aaron had played county last season.County cricket is nowadays overrated gone are those old days .Zak had grown a belly had a lousy work ethic so county did help him. What yadav and arron along with shami need is a proper bowling coach and plans.I mean we select the worst possible bowling coach .

Still better than playing mickey mouse IPL league which is way overrated in terms of development of the fast bowlers.

He'd be a poorer version of Shaun Tait! Yadav seems to think just bowling fast is all that is required, like Tait.

This series could quite easily have started after the Zim tour ended and the players on that tour who could have featured in the A squad could have been picked - there are at least guys who could have been in the Ltd overs 'A' team squad like Uthappa, Jadhav , Pandey. Samson, Axar, S Sharma should all be in the A team squad also.

One day squad is yet to be announced.

I believe Paras was a 130K bowler but with good line n length. I remember him taking a lot of wickets for Mumbai and was a venkatesh Prasad mould bowler...I believe he wud be a good bowling coach and shud help varun , umesh and mithun.
