but what about the young batting talents,
Batting pool is also very good. we can safely say that Indian cricket is safe for next 10 years or so.
i have not seen most of the players mentioned here may be i have not seen them play international matches against Australia or England.
Management using them in T-20 format for quite some time (not domestic bowlers). before T-20 WC we have plenty of games so we might see some familiar face against the Eng, Aus and NZ.

Well.. very detailed. Regarding the pacers, I still don't understand why bowlers like Siraj and Khaleel are getting selected over Shami. If the intention is to reduce the workload, then I don't agree. If the management wants to rest him, then they should do a rotational selection policy for tests, just like what the Australians are doing. Keeping good bowlers out of T20 is not the right thing to do. It is actually irritating to see Khaleel getting selected again and again after repeated bad performances.
Agree, Siraj and Khaleel doing bad. Siraj might find some difficulties to get in Squad anytime soon. About Khaleel selection; as far as i understand they are giving him more chances only because he's left arm seamer. And historically every cricket board try to get hold on them because they provide different angle to batsmen and can be very lethal if groomed well.
Rotation policy is good option but only in Shorter format i suppose.
BTW, I was surprised to see the name of Kamlesh Nagarkoti. He hasn't played any cricket for the last 2 years and I really doubt whether we'll ever see him on action again. From what I have heard, he has changed his bowling action to avoid a repetition of the injury (by making it more side-on). But the problem is that when you change your bowling action, then it is not always very effective. This is what happened with Mfuneko Ngam.
Last i heard he's recovering well and available for domestic season, hope everything goes well for this 19 yo boy.
All rounder
~snip~
It is hard to find all rounder actually. I still recall Pandya coming in as a bowler and slowly getting up the middle slot in batting. It is quite hard for them also to get a chance when you have so much pool of cricketers to play. There is hardly a room to test out. They only discover it when someone surprise them I guess.
Maybe putting some time into development of some of bowlers will be good. Does any body recall the Pathan Brothers , Yuvraj Singh...Ufff... What kind of all rounders we had. Plus some entertainment cherry - Harbhajan Singh on top

True, Genuine all rounder are treasure so its obviously hard to find.
Sad but true, we are not going to find likes of Yuvraj in Indian cricket ever. Even Suresh Raina was quite handy cricketer and won countless games for India.
On different note i would say that current batting specialists don't want to be a part time bowlers or they lack skills, Before India used to have Sachin, Sehwag, Ganguly,Yuvraj, Raina (specialist batsmen but can bowl too when needed) this is missing right now.

I feel like Sunder, Chahar, Shreyas and Samson are the future of the Indian squad(Wild prediction)
Sanju Manju aka sajay manjarekar is now famous with his remarks " Bits and pieces" lol
But Thanks bro
Yeah, just a matter of time. Shreyas has a bright future, this guy is captain material too. in fact many batsmen of new crop are suitable for captain role in the near future, hope management mold them with cautions.
