So Shami, Siraj, and Umesh for the WTC? Not terribly confidence-inspiring but they can be good on their day so we'll see. No place for Shardul you'd think considering it's the pancake at The Oval, even if it's June. Should be playing both Ashwin and Jadeja regardless.
I'de take shardul over siraj honestly. Shardul has 27 wickets @24 since siraj's debut while siraj has 40 odd @31, and shardul is a better batsmen. Both are gonna have a similiar role of taking the new rock with shami, so no role definiton issues there either.

With Pant and Bumrah out, what is the test team you would like to see? One for home and one for overseas ?

Shardul stats are skewed and not a true reflection of his abilities. Siraj is a much better bowler imo

Pant not playing in the world cup guys, who our keeper.
Yeah world cup in October is too soon. Want him in for the home series vs England in February. Because that is one series that India is in danger of losing particularly without him.

However I wonder if he will be able to keep in Tests after the ligament tear/s in his knee? He is good enough to play as a batsman but being a keeper batsman really helps, also because he probably feels more liberated while batting.

Whatever it takes!!!
KL is our ODI keeper now. That is not gonna change. I am hoping for the Aussie games, we try something like this -

Gill
Rohit
Virat
Rahul (wk)
Jaddu
Hardik
Washy
Lord
Unadkat
Kuldeep
Siraj / Shami


But realistically, they will go with -

Gill
Rohit
Virat
SKY
Rahul (wk)
Hardik
Jaddu
Lord/Unadkat
Kuldeep
Shami
Siraj

I would play Shami, Umesh and Ishant as frontline pacers in Bumrah's absence in WTC final. Don't know why they gave up on Ishant all of a sudden after barely 1-2 ordinary games.
