Should also rest Bumrah and Pandya. They will be required to bowl many overs in Australia.

This is not a B team. This is Indian selectors being lazy. This should have been the time to blood all the exciting 19-22 aged players who have been doing great.

Kohli running away from Amir to preserve his legacy.
Unlike Sachin who faced whoever got him out cheaply to take revenge.
Guess that's what separates the GOAT Sachin from pretenders like Kohli
Really glad with Khalid's inclusion. PPer's will remember that I predicted this a year back. He is sharp and is very aggressive bowler. Siraj is faster but he is not white ball bower yet.
What a horrible squad - the batting side of it anyway.
MS Dhoni - old and bats too slow now;
Dinesh Karthik - one or two good matches in 14 years of international cricket and now some people think he's the next incarnation of Gilchrist when in reality the guy still averages in the 20s after ~80 odis;
Jadhav - 33 years old and hasn't done anything of note in ODIs since the England tour of India in Jan 2017 - he even failed in this months India B vs Australia A series;
Manish Pandey - 29 years old and is treated like some young kid with bags of potential. Although to be fair he did do well vs Australia A recently;
Ambati Rayudu - another player in his mid 30s who we're going back to after a gap of 2.5 years. Bats at the pace of a snail.
Anyone seriously think any of the above will do well at the WC in England next year? Why not pick an Asia Cup squad with the World Cup in mind?
Bumrah should have been rested too.
The missing player is
Captain
Best player in the team
Best batsman in the world
One of the ATGs in Odi cricket.
the missing player didn't made any difference in champions trophy final ...... LoL
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] still licking his wounds.
Cricket didnt start and end with CT final.Pakistan fans are still living in the past.
CT win >>>> any WCs or tests win
Think this England tour is hurting a lot of people badly. IT will pass friends.
People write off Indian team at its own perill just bcoz Kohli is not there. Yes Kohli is a great player but he is not the only player. Likes of Rohit, Dhawan and Rahul are all class in white ball cricket. Our biggest match winner in ODIs recently are the spinners and I expect them to come into party. Pak needs to play really well to beat India and if they beat us, no excuses from our end. For India, the key will be not to lose an early wicket to Amir in his 1st spell and then game over for Pak.
Dhawan
Rohit
Rahul
Pandey
Dhoni
Jadhav
Pandya
Kuldeep
Chahal
Bhuvi
Bumrah
Still a very good LOI team

Looks like Khalil Ahmed is ignored in the picture....or he is not interested![]()
Should have picked Jadeja instead. Another poor selection. Chahar is another mediocre cricketer.
Deepak Chahar? Seriously? We lost the plot completely.
Why not Krunal Pandya or Pant?

Was sure that Pandya would be rested. Suprised to see him in the squad. He's had a very heavy workload.
Shocked they picked DK over Pant. A 34 year-old backup for a 37 year-old Dhoni. Brilliant!
Also, I was really hoping they would revisit Jadeja as the 6th bowler and #7 batsman. India needs a 2nd all-rounder in the XI.
How can one get injured without (or little) playing cricket? However good riddance!

Shardul Thakur was sat on his bum all through the England tour, gets a match and promptly gets injured. Seriously puts into question training regime of Indian team.
Feel sorry for Jadeja - he hasn’t done a lot wrong to be kept out of the odi team. He’s also the best fielder in the country imo (out of those who have been in the national side recently). Moreover, he has a good record in ODIs in England so with an eye on the World Cup he should be brought back into the side.
Pandya was stretchered off on Wednesday, after collapsing during his spell. A BCCI statement said he "suffered an acute lower back spasm during the game against Pakistan and is undergoing treatment and assessment by the BCCI medical team." Axar injured his left index finger during the same game. Shardul, who did not play the Pakistan game, had experienced "right hip and groin soreness after the game against Hong Kong".
That injury won the game for India. The batsmen were enjoying his medium pace.

May be team management wanted to get rid of Thakur and wanted a better option? There is only one way players can be replaced and that is to declare them injured. Anyway Kaul and Thakur looks same to me but I am happy with Jadeja's inclusion. Will make bowling even stronger than it is now.
Thats a short term fix. Jadeja being in the squad will not play in 2019 WC for sure. But will definitely add to strength of this team in UAE.
Was a great chance to groom two young pacers - could have been any two of Siraj, Rajpoot, Prasidh, Saini or Mavi. Khaleel showed what young pacers with pace bring, thats what the 5 mentioned have. Kauls, Thakurs and Chahars will never become 140+ bowlers for us and have limited future.
This Deepak Chahar is another trundler. Can't believe some of the fans here were getting offended when I called him another mediocre bowler. The quicket we git rid of these Kauls and Chahars the better it will be for Team India.![]()
