Not only SKY, everyone will go for franchisee contract, it will go like WINDIES cricket, at least BCCI stopping indian players to play outside franchisee saving Indian team
We aren't playing enough cricket for ODIs and we aren't rotating our players. We dropped Axar Patel and we went back to Ashwin. We didn't picked him up despite of having slow pitch. He played crucial part in getting Smith out in 2021 series by himself. He is magician but Jadeja was preferred for away tours due to his improved batting(Sometimes you need out of box thinking to get wickets on pitches where there isn't help, Jadeja isn't that bowler). I hope Saurabh Kumar gets chance in next test series along with Ashwin and Sunder. We need to immediately invest in Sunder to look beyond Ashwin. Surya didn't do anything special in this WC. We should have picked Samson instead of him. I don't know what he needs to do more to get selected. I wish he gets selected and given longer rope in ODI cricket for next four years, if Pant doesn't get fit by next year march. Except for this final, Rahul and Iyer played well. Make Rahul play only test cricket because we need him there for next two WTC cycles if we wants to have good chance. Iyer should not play test cricket. We need solid players in test cricket. Iyer isn't one of them. I don't know who is there, but after dropping Gill to number 3, Iyer should not play test cricket, atleast for two more years.
Siraj played well in Asia cup, but he is more suited for test cricket and holding one end, just like Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle did for Australia in 2011-2015 phase which allowed Johnson and Starc to attack more. We don't have that kind of bowler in test cricket. Siraj can be that bowler. We need to keep him away from ODI cricket.
Next WC is in South Africa. Vernon Philander showed us in his first few matches, there is not need for good pace to pick up wickets. So we need bowlers like Bhuvi and Shami at seven and eight for giving rest to main genuine fast bowlers. We have three right now (Prasidh,Bumrah, Umran), need to find four more. For test bowling, we can invest in two Karnataka fast bowlers. They can serve us well for next five years. Tushar Deshpande and Mukesh Kumar can be good ODI bowlers.
Batting wise, we have Gaikwad, Tilak Verma, Rinkoo Singh, Abhishek Sharma, and the other two Punjab batsman, one who plays for KXIP and one who played few matches for MI.
For test batting, we have Yash Dhull and Abhimanyu Easwaran, Rajat Patidar, Vihari, Shaikh Raseed for next four years if Rohit, Kohli leaves suddenly, even though I believe Kohli will play test cricket for four more years(I hope MS gives chance to Shaikh Raseed this upcoming season). I don't see Sarfaraz as test back up. He has some serious issues against short balls.
