Our youngsters ie Iyer,Jadhav,Pandey,etc are not ready for International cricket,we should select Sehwag,Yuvraj. Our fast bowlers ie Umesh,Aaron are spray guns, we should select,Praveen Kumar,Munaf Patel. Dhoni is the only wk in our country,who can put bat to ball,rest all ie Naman,Gautam,Samson are goalkeepers.They should not be allowed anywhere near the team.If they are selected also ,strong diktat should be given to team management,not to play them. Spinners should be such that they just have to dart the ball straight,so that the great wk does not have any difficulty collecting them.

They'll surely not send an entirely new team... At least two of Rohit, Rahane, Raina, Ashwin will surely play...

NEW DELHI: Taking note of the fatigue factor, India are likely to field a second string team for the tour of Zimbabwe and senior players such as skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni might be given a break when the selectors meet on Monday to pick the squad for the limited-overs series. The Indians have just finished a disappointing tour of Bangladesh, losing the ODI series 1-2, completing seven months of continuous cricket. In this backdrop, selectors may give the younger players a chance with sources indicating that skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Test captain Virat Kohli and top spinner R Ashwin are likely to be rested. Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina are the two players in running for captaincy. Rohit is the top contender after successfully leading Mumbai Indians to the IPL title this season. Raina, on the other hand, has been a stop-gap captain in shorter formats. Elsewhere, batsman Ajinkya Rahane is set to be picked for the series starting July 10. "Ashwin and Kohli are playing both formats. Dhoni has also had a lot of workload since the Australia tour followed by the World Cup and a gruelling IPL. These three require rest. A fresh Kohli and Ashwin are a must for Sri Lanka Tests which will be a very tough assignment," a BCCI source said. In case Ashwin is rested, the toss-up for off-spinner's slot will be between Parveez Rasool and Harbhajan Singh. However, if the selectors prefer a junior team, it might turn the tide in Rasool's favour. Robin Uthappa can also make the cut. Some of the certainties are Stuart Binny, Ambati Rayudu and Mohit Sharma. Pacer Umesh Yadav might get some much needed rest after injury free last six months. The tour comprising three ODIs and two T20s was in doubt, but a BCCI release put all speculations to rest on Saturday. The series had been rendered doubtful owing to unresolved issues between the country's cricket board and host broadcaster Ten Sports. Zimbabwe Cricket had said in a press release that it was hopeful of going ahead with India's tour of the country. The Hamilton Masakadza-led Zimbabwe have played good cricket in recent times when they gave hosts Pakistan a tough time during their 3 ODIs and 2 T20s, which they eventually lost. Suresh Raina led the 15-man Indian squad when the Men in Blue toured Zimbabwe in 2010 for a limited-overs series, while Virat Kohli captained the team in 2013. Even though Raina's India failed to make the finals of the triangular series involving hosts Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, Kohli-led India blanked the hosts in a five-ODI series. The committee will also select the India 'A' team that will participate in a tri-series against Australia 'A' and South Africa 'A' to be held in Chennai and Wayanad from July 19.
