This is over reaction of highest order. In the 3 games played in Zimbabwe the last game was the only time Zimbabwe came close. The same bowling attack dismissed the hosts under 200 in the first 2 games. Umran, Tyagi et all have hardly played any domestic games and their record in domestic cricket in all formats is horrendous. On what basis would they select them? India have already selected Arshdeep Singh ahead of Chahar, Thakur etc. Umran Malik played 3 T20I games for India already with an economy rate of 12.44. He has played one List A game and he went for 100 in that game.
These guys are young and need to bowl a lot more in domestic cricket. Bumrah got his chances after 3 IPL seasons and doing well in those. He did not play his first Test until after he was successful in other formats for about 2 years. Bumrah at least had 20 odd FC games under his belt before getting picked for the national side, none of the bowlers you mentioned have even played 10. Kuldeep yes I agree that he needs chances but India already have Ravi Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal in the squad and Kuldeep has hardly played T20 games for India over the past 2 years.
In both the matches India bowled first and got the advantage of the bowling conditions. The moment the bowl didn't move, Thakur Chahar and co. got exposed.
So Bumrah being kept out of the team and Mohit Sharma playing was a good selection decision? Bumrah is 28 and has played only 30 tests. Thats a great selection policy as per you.
He should have played atleast a year and half earlier. Indian selectors have no vision and are stuck in 80s and 90s. The present selection of trundlers who can bat shows that mentality. We have had jokers as selectors. They keep selecting TTFs.
Coming to Umran, both the T20s where he played, both teams scored nearly 200 and all bowlers were expensive.
Prasidh Krishna cannot get wickets in the IPL, is expensive, why is he selected?
You travel to Zimbabwe and take a bowling attack of 29-30 year olds. Really?
Umran and Mohsin both bowled far better than Thakur or Prasidh in the IPL. Yet thakur keeps playing. Prasidh keeps getting chances. Why?
Prasidh is from Karnataka
Thakur is from Mumbai
Axar is from Gujarat
Go figure why they are playing.
