I don't think Pant has played any ODI innings of note in his career? Or indeed T20I (for India).

Average of 23.25 in ODIs and 29.73 in all list A cricket - totally screwed...

The selectors have overrated Shankar with the ball; they do believe that he is an all rounder.
He appears to be a decent batsman, even if he hasn't lived up to his potential yet; but asking him to bowl some meaningful number of overs is madness.
On the evidence so for, as a pure ODI batsman, Shankar, to use standard CricketWeb terminology, is a moderate upgrade over Pant. That means: there is a clear and wide gulf dividing the two.

Only a matter of time until he does. Big blunder and a weak batting side regardless. Don't see them making 300 consistently enough.

Agreed; you have been very perceptive.
Still, a better choice than Rayudu, I think: when Rayudu gets under pressure and can't rotate the strike, he just gums up the works.

Isn't that against the rules?

Don't think it is? They just not registered tournament players. BCCI willing to finance it, it's all good.

Honestly, those guys aren’t much better, if at all

If you take out the seamers from the playing XI (Bhuvi, Bumrah, Shami, Ishant), the rest of the country's pace stocks don't seem much better than what they've always been. A depressing thought.

Siraj has done very well on A tours. With time, he should translate that to international level too. Nagarkoti and Mavi are also very promising, just have to maintain their fitness. So, all is not lost I think.
Anyways, the above 4 are all young enough to play for another 5 years and hopefully another good seamer comes up during that time.
