International Coach
The current Indian side is full of veteran players who will only be around for a few more years, as well as players who some feel do not deserve their positions. Fortunately, India has several prospects who could make an impact in the near future and improve India's chances of success in the international arena, especially the World Cup. The following is my list of the overall top 40 options, in each area: (keep in mind that I have left out some older players such as Bahutule who I do not feel can be truly considered 'prospects' with 'promising futures')
