Whatever it takes!!!
I don't see the point of playing both Axar and Krunal in the same side. Surely, Gowtham can play ahead of Axar. I think we have seen enough of Axar now. If he makes it, he has to do it on the strength of his bowling. His batting is barely #8 quality for internationals.

https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/ume...licy-after-county-deal-didnt-work-out-2166119

The BCCI has been very clear about workload management of players and that has seen someone like Umesh Yadav having to skip an opportunity to play county cricket. Speaking to media on the eve of the Ranji Trophy game between Delhi and Vidarbha, Umesh said that he did get an offer from Gloucestershire, but had to stay away keeping the workload guidelines in mind. "I got a county offer last season (from Gloucestershire). They wanted me to play seven games, but the BCCI workload management policy doesn't allow me to play more than two or three games. So, the deal didn't work out. Also I had some niggles to take care of after IPL," he revealed.

So does that mean that the workload policy needs a re-look, Umesh feels that it should be a case of each individual being treated as per their position and match time.

"Workload management is a balance that you strike when you are constantly playing matches. In my case, it's been the opposite. I have played lesser and lesser in the past two years (2018 and 2019). So there hasn't even been optimum workload for me.

"I am 31 and the next four to five years are very important. If you look at my record, I played four Tests last year (2019) and before that another four in 2018. In white ball, I played only one game last year.

"At this age, the more I bowl, the better I will get. That's why I am playing five first-class (one vs Saurashtra after this game) to have some more workload," he explained.

In fact, with the Indian selectors looking at him more as a red-ball specialist, Umesh doesn't have much to do after the New Zealand tour.
"So, in a World T20 year, after New Zealand tour, I have only IPL left and then no cricket. If I am not selected for white-ball cricket, I have precious little to do then," he pointed.

Does that mean he will be open to county offers? "The concern about county cricket is that if they have a professional playing for them, they would hand over the ball to him and expect that bowler to send down maximum overs," he said.

Definitely should play county this year, if possible. Same goes for Ishant.

Yeah. Very few people come back from a CC stint worse off.

Hopefully Pujara is welcomed back despite his awful run the last time.

Remember Sarfaraz Khan? The problem child (flashed his genitals at opposition) with a helicopter dad. Before Shaw arrived, he was Mumbai's big batting hope. He's back playing for Mumbai after his father took him to UP in the hopes of an early FC debut.

Scored an impressive century today against UP with his team up the **** creek. Also impressive was his frame, looking like he swallowed a water buffalo whole. He's only 22 (definitely fudged) on paper and if he's mentally sorted, he's got enough talent to have an outside chance of a national call up.

Sarfaraz has turned his century into a double and still undefeated. The kind of come from behind inning that makes people notice, and puts you in national reckoning.

Serious question guys do you think if Pujara was in India one day team they would have won world cup semi final against New Zealand.

He did have a good one day run for Yorkshire too. Unfortunately he’s good for a Shai Hope type of role which is not what we need.

Sarfaraz with another double century for Mumbai. This kid is gunning for the big leagues. Watch out Rahane-Vihari.

Yeah and he's not done. 226* at stumps on day one. Can easily turn into another triple tomorrow and he's striking at well over 100. Has there ever been two back to back triples in FC cricket before?

In the post-Jadeja era, no one takes Ranji Trophy triple centuries seriously anymore.
