Future Indian team...no Dravid, Sachin and Ganguly?

Question

If we exclude the big 3 of Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid, I want to see these 15 players rotated regularly in and out of the ODI and test teams until the 2011 world cup

That is I want these players to step up so that we can rely less and less everytime as each series passes by on those 3 seniors in ODIs and Tests

1) Robin Uthappa
2) Rohit Sharma
3) MS Dhoni
4) Yuvraj Singh
5) Dinesh Karthik
6) Irfan Pathan
7) Mohammad Kaif
8) Harbajan Singh
9) Zaheer Khan
10) Munaf Patel
11) Sreesanth
12) RP Singh
13) Piyush Chawla
14) Virender Sehwag
15) Yusuf Pathan

Anyone you want to remove from this list and who do you want to replace them with?

im not saying take out the big 3 entirely off the team...they're aging but they're definitley the most experience core we've got

We shouldn't play all 3 of them in every match in test or ODIs thats my point...so when resting those 3 these 15 are the ones i want to see being on the roster regularly

Answer 1

Manoj Tewari
Badrinath
S.Raina
Parthiv Patel
Murali Karthik.
Gautam Gambhir
All the above players are doing well and and worth to have in our team.

Answer 2

GOOOOOOOD, NOW U HAVE MD. KAIF IN THERE. KAIFU , UR THE BEST.

i still feel that it is still too early to think that india would survive against australia on 50-50 or test cricket.
If this young indian team is succesful, which it had been needs to show that winning the 20-20 world cup was not a fluke. SRV ganguly, Sachin, and Dravid might still be neccessary for ATLEAST test cricket or ODI.

Answer 3

Gautam Gambhir should fine a place in the team in place of Hohd. Kaif as he has already been tried out many times, but could not cement his place in the team. Parthiv patel should come in place of Dinesh Karthik in test team. V.R.V. Singh should come in place of Yusuf Pathan. Manoj Tiwari should find a place in test team in place of rohit sharma. Rest of the names given by you sound okey..

Answer 4

If I had to remove some one, I would remove Mohd Kaif. He is still struggling in domestic matches and Ind A matches.

Mohd Kaif should be replaced by one of these:
Akash Chopra, Manoj Tiwary, S Badrinath, Gambhir or Parthiv Patel

So many real good talents in India! We need to exploit them!

Answer 5

Yeah I think Ganguly has to be left out, he plays too slow and he is the reason why we lost the last match to Australia.

Your list is good, but just 3 changes: Tendulkar for Sehwag, Murli Karthik for Harbajan and Powar for Kaif

Answer 6

Include the following guys in your list -

* V.R.V Singh (Tall,fit,fast bowler - we need to back him)
*Manoj Tiwari ( This young guy has been scoring @ an average of 98 in domestic cricket)
*Murali Karthik (adds variety to bowling+good fielder)
*Ranadeb Bose (Tall swing/seam bowler yet to play international cricket but is among the probables for me)
*Ishant Sharma
*Gautam Gambhir (you left him out bt he isn't that bad)
*Suresh Raina (fine batsman & good fielder)
*S.Badrinath (good batsman)

Bench-stength has been our biggest problem. If we can rotate the players properly then i don't think we will have much problems in the future

Answer 7

Yaar all these players are good. If any of them leave the world would be chaotic! India won the 20/20!!!! Balle Balle!!

Answer 8

suresh raina and ajit agarkar(hes a good bowler got hitten once so what...it happens with lee too sometimes but australia dont advices him to go out)in place of yousuf pathan and sreesanth


do oyu still want sreesanth?????????????????they lost bcuz of sreesanth more

Answer 9

hoping 4 da best in future young prospects~

Answer 10

ur list is pretty good, the only thing they have to make sure of now is that the media doesnt get to these players heads....
