Making bumrah test captain and expecting him to play even semi regularly in LOI is suicidal IMO.So obviously assuming we lose this series 3-1 (and really the decent thing we can do is to draw this test and let SL make the final if they beat Aus 2-0), how is the reset gonna look like?
For me, the best available option is to take away the all format captaincy from one MI guy and hand it over to 3 different MI guys.
Tests - Rohit -> Bumrah
ODIs - Rohit -> Hardik
T20Is - Rohit -> SKY (already done tbf)
I also think RoKO both wont play for India in any format. Then maybe something like this -
T20Is ODIs Tests Yashaswi Jaiswal Yashaswi Jaiswal Yashaswi Jaiswal Sanju Samson (wk) Shubman Gill (vc) K L Rahul Tilak Verma Tilak Verma Sai Sudharshan Surya Kumar Yadav (c) Sanju Samson (wk) Shubman Gill (vc) Rinku Singh Rinku Singh Rishabh Pant (wk) Hardik Pandya (vc) Hardik Pandya (c) Nitish Kumar Reddy Axar Patel Axar Patel Ravindra Jadeja Washington Sundar Washington Sundar Washington Sundar Kuldeep Yadav Kuldeep Yadav Kuldeep Yadav / Akash Deep Jasprit Bumrah Jasprit Bumrah Jasprit Bumrah (c) Mohammed Siraj Mohammed Siraj Mohammed Siraj
Well, tbf, I should have clarified those were our best potential 11s but I totally understand resting most of the test players for JAMLO series all the time.Making bumrah test captain and expecting him to play even semi regularly in LOI is suicidal IMO.
Pant should be test captainSo obviously assuming we lose this series 3-1 (and really the decent thing we can do is to draw this test and let SL make the final if they beat Aus 2-0), how is the reset gonna look like?

Of course, rest the guys who play red ball from JAMLOs as much as possible.
Abhishek Sharma for Jaiswal.
Any spin bowling AR for Washy.
Varun C/Ravi Bishnoi for Kuldeep.
Arshdeep Singh for Bumrah.
Next best seamer for Siraj.
and so on.
Need to find replacement for shami. Tall skidy bowler who bowls at stumps. Mayank yadav has played much fc and is injury prone. Hope umran malik learns reverse swing he is shami lite with 10kph more pace
these are terrible suggestionsDont know why kuldeep sen isnt playing. He is quick skiddy
dumb selectors
Pretty sure the likes of Rahul and Iyer will still be in the reckoning for ODI's. Putting Rinku ahead of Rahul and/or Iyer seems pretty bold imoSo obviously assuming we lose this series 3-1 (and really the decent thing we can do is to draw this test and let SL make the final if they beat Aus 2-0), how is the reset gonna look like?
