Dead & Buried. Only Boovi kumar & his knuckle balls & those 125 kph thunderbolts are the saving grace.

oldies galore Trundlers galore.. Meek captain coach.. Infighting. Losing against B teams on a slow pitches. Substandard spinners.

What's funny is Kela Rahul makes him look like Ricky Ponting.The disparagement of Bavuma's captaincy and tactics looks extremely funny now.

You are being overcritical here. Kela is not captaincy material but Dravid has done a great job recently with the youngsters, he should be given some time. I am sure he'll sort out the issues. But it was really strange though, if Iyer wasn't bowling, he shouldn't have been in the side, Surya would have been a better choice. If Chahal can't perform on this kind of a pitch against SA, what's his use? He was really bright but has become complacent I think.

I think bowling is a big issue. Our stats since WC 2019 are worst as a bowling unit among top 10 sides. Minnow level

I've only been impressed by Bavuma so far. Only criticism would be him not accelerating at the right time with the bat, but people were complaining about him throwing away starts, so he was trying to stay there for as long as he can.The disparagement of Bavuma's captaincy and tactics looks extremely funny now.

Okay I haven't fully given up
My guesses are:
A) They didn't want to go full development squad because still need Super League points, so pick some veterans to get a win or two (Dhawan, Bhuvi, Chahal)
B) Logistical hassle of getting players out there and in bubbles so decided to retain guys from the Test side who are fringe ODI players anyways (Aswhin, Thakur)
C) Keep some players around to gain more experience in the conditions for future Test tours here, plus have them working with coaches/physios in the setup in preparation for upcoming series (Pant, Yadav, Siraj)
