World Cup 2023

[White Ball]

Having lost yesterday as a white ball fan my mind is already on the next World Cup obviously is will be sad from an Indian point of view to be without Dhoni! Kohli and Rohit should have one or two more cups in them! What would you like to see in the next tournament?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Dhoni should play in every match for every team and whenever he's not on the field the comms should say "Where's Dhoni?"

Too early but here is what my early wish is:

1. Prithvi Shaw
2. Rohit Sharma*
3. Virat Kohli
4. Shubman Gill
5. Rishabh Pant+
6. Hardik Pandya
7. Ravi Jadeja
8. Kamlesh Nagarkoti
9. Shivam Mavi
10. Kuldeep Yadav
11. Jasprit Bumrah

Looking at the youngsters coming through both NZ and West Indies will look handy.

India will be in a water crisis in four years so there's no need to pick any fast bowlers.

At the moment I couldnt confidently name a single player who will be in his 20s when the World Cup starts.

I guess Smith Carey Cummins are the most likely certainties but even Cummins is perhaps a smidgeon overrated in ODIs. I cant see both Warner and Finch being there, but maybe one will.

I started another thread and these are some of the names to keep an eye out for. Of course Turner and Stanlake are more known.

Josh Philippe
Ashton Turner
Will Sutherland
Cameron Green
Riley Meredith
Matthew Kelly
Billy Stanlake

Marcus Harris is also a chance. His overall record in List A matches is nothing flash, but he has the tools and will be 30 in 2023. He will need to get opportunities for Vic though which can be tough for a potential Test player.

Random 2023 team..

1 Marcus Harris
2 Aaron Finch
3 Steve Smith
4 Josh Philippe
5 Ashton Turner
6 Alex Carey
7 Will Sutherland
8 Cameron Green
9 Matthew Kelly
10 Lloyd Pope*
11 Billy Stanlake

*Not captain, no idea which spinner.
*5th place, here we come!

8. Kamlesh Nagarkoti
9. Shivam Mavi
10. Kuldeep Yadav
11. Jasprit Bumrah

Will be really surprised if Kamlesh or Mavi make good on the hype. I think Shreyas Iyer will be in the team for sure. Also have a feeling Jadeja won't be in there.

Australia have officially given up on one day cricket at a domestic level so what makes anyone think we'll have anybody new in four years time.

The ODI side played a dozen ODIs in a couple of months leading up to the world cup. The state sides took two years to play that many games. So rightly or wrongly the selectors are basically forced to pick players based on hunches and guesses and then give them a year in the side to see if they're any good.

Stoinis is a classic example of this approach. He's been in the team for just long enough to find out he's not up to international standard but it's too late to drop him before the world cup and bring in Marsh.

Combine this with the pitiful odi schedule for Australia for the next year, the hiding behind a pay wall of all Australian ODIs and I can't see anything but the utter destruction of Australia as an odi force once Smith/ Warner/Starc/Finch are past it.

Richardson.

Would be surprised if Starc goes before 2023. Hazlewood might also be a thing?

 

[stephen]

Cummins will be in his 20s.

Mitch Marsh is still only 27 so he'll probably also be there.

Starc will be 34ish by the time of the next WC. It'd be nice if he's still there but that action and bowling at that pace has to take its toll sooner or later.

Oh yeah true totally forgot about jumping jhye

IIRC he'll be 33. Suppose he could retire but I think he's got another WC in him....just.

There definitely feels like there's a lost generation of Australian cricketers post-Cummins. Not too many names born after 1993 that I feel confident in becoming big players.

 

[CricAddict]

Will be really surprised if Kamlesh or Mavi make good on the hype. I think Shreyas Iyer will be in the team for sure. Also have a feeling Jadeja won't be in there.

Yes, that is a good team and should definitely be atleast 90% of the 2023 squad, barring surprises. Just Iyer instead of one of the batsmen there. Also, Rituraj Gaikwad coming up quickly now.

Yeah. Shami and Bhuvi both only 29 too so they'll probably be around.

things change quickly. find me the post where someone predicted steve smith would be an atg batsman before his test debut. when mitchell starc bowled short wide filth to chris martin in 2011 i never picked him to star in two world cups. find me a post where someone predicted lockie ferguson to star in a world cup before his odi debut.

australia will always be there or thereabouts in a world cup.
