Posting after a long time in Cricket Discussion. The squad for first three ODI's is really cool. They really as listed the importance of youngsters are giving them more opportunities after seeing the pathetic Sri Lanka performance after the greats like Sanga, Jayawardane, Dilshan etc.. retired.
Manish Pandey must be given a consistent run in playing xi till the World Cup to strengthen the middle order. Dhoni will guide him to improve his technique and play according to the situation. We also have two backup openers/middle order batsmen namely Rahul and Rahane. Both can open the innings as well as play down the order.
Hope Shami and Umesh perform after a break given to them.
