India in West Indies 2016
Shardul Thakur earns call-up for test tour

Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur has been picked in the 17-member squad for the four-Test tour of the West Indies in July-August. Virat Kohli will captain the team, while Ajinkya Rahane has been named vice-captain.

India squad: Virat Kohli (capt), M Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (vice-capt), Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha, R Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Stuart Binny

 

I am Glad India selected Amit mishra for test series in WESTINDIES.i wish test format also works wonder for him same as twenty 20 if he get selected at Sabina park plus test.I think 6 bowler fast or medium fast selected including BINNY but India not selected specialist 2nd wicketkeeper other than Saha while I do not consider K Rahul as specialist keeper for two months Long tour.

Naman should selects here.In the past India selected unfit bowler like Ishant and m.Shami
I wish our 5 plus 1 all rounder physically fits for 8 weeks tour, but Shardul Thakur is great selection who had outstanding first class season for Mumbai.

I strongly belived no way you can selects test team with the performances of Limited format.Good luck virat as your chance to makes runs in WI as well.
