Selectors will select a India A team to play a 3 day game against Bangladesh before the test series. Who are the players who should be included in the A team.

Pant has to be tried as a keeper...rest don't see a lot of exciting fast bowling talent coming through...spinners get Kuldeep in

 

ideally names I would like Kuldeep,Pant as keeper,Iyer,Pandya in a 3 day setting

 

try out Nathu and Siraj or add Aaron to the mix.

 

pretty much the names I am excited about.

 

but pretty sure A team will be filled with crap though.

^also to add Rohit if he is fit by them just as a warmup to get him ready 

Rohit should captain this game.

 

I would play Pant and my spinners would be Kuldeep and Nadeem.  Would get in Thakur and Mohd. Siraj also.

 

Would open with Pant and Mukund. Get in Hooda, Panchal Ishan Kishan or Navdeep Saini.

Pant is not a test match opener .

He is a wicket keeper and a long term prospect at that.Should bat in the middle order where he will be comfortable.

A-teams are primarily for the development of players who can play for India in the future.  Performances in the last Ranji season  should  NOT be the main factor for selection.   Let's see if the selectors have a good talent-spotting eye or just follow last season's stats like lay-persons do. With that in mind, the team should be on this line --

 

1) Mukund

2) Panchal

3) Rohit

4) Nair

5) Pant  ( Wk )

6) Kishan  ( He is a future prospect and needs to be backed )

7) Pandya

8) Gopal   ( Gets in place of Nadeem as we are looking for a good leg-spinner who can bat too )

9) Kuldeep

10) Nathu   ( best pace prospect in India and needs to be backed, especially as he missed most of the Ranji season due to injury )

11) Aaron  ( Need to see whether the fastest bowler in the country can still bowl as accurately as he did in the last A tour )

 

 

Reserves --

 

Hedwarkar

Hooda

Nadeem ( has done well but we already have a good left-arm spinner in team india and need some good wrist spinners )

Shardul

I would like to see the few bowlers from nathu, ankit, aniket, chama, pandya, kuldeep, chahal and nadeem.

siraj doesn't look like international material in the irani trophy match.

batting wise players from mukund, herwadkar, prasanth chopra, iyer, hooda, panchal, pant, kishan, rahul singh, vijay shankar

Priyank Panchal getting a game is a good bet, based on the selectors' logic and precedents.

 

I would love to see - Herwardkar, Mukund, Panchal, Shreyas Iyer, Pant, Kishan, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya/ Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep, Chahal, Nadeem.     But likely that the likes of Manish Pandey and a few more "senior" names will play instead.

Looking at the near future, I do not see him batting for India at no.3, 4 or 5 for next 2 years in thr test team as it will be locked for Pujara, Kohli and Rahane.

 

He would most likely play at 7 in Indian team if Nair also gets a permanent no. 6 slot for next few series whenever we play 2 spinners. 

 

Coming at 7 would be too late. Yes, we can hope for him to do a Gilchrist but then we can also look to develop another keeper in Kishan who can replace Saha at 7 and make Pant as a the replacement opener. He can be developed as an opener. You never know it might work better for India. If Kishan is not suited, it can be always swapped later. 

 

It is a tough one and anything can happen down the line. No one is a permanent repalcement keeper yet.

Opening in tests is overly ambitious for Panth.  Ishan Kishan actually has opened for an entire season in FC cricket IIRC.  If we are going with Pant, he's best suited @ #6.  You want to put players in position that increases their chances to succeed - square pegs in round holes are unlikely to work.

Pant has opened in LOI's so he can surely adjust to the moving ball in test too, but then again, if if he likes middle order then should bat there but him getting a chance to bat at no.6 might not happen for a long time if Nair and Rahane continue to bat well for India.

With Jayant Yadav doing so well with the bat, we will continue to play 3 spinners. Kohli is interested in playing 5 bowlers anyway.

 

That means, Pant will bat at No.6,  if and when he gets in the test team.
