Kedar Jadhav is an interesting selection. He's played 40 FCs and 36 ODs, but his OD stats are delicious - average of 52, strike rate of 108, 4x100 and 10x50 in 36 innings. But we know where the OD games are often played, and the bowlers who figure in them. Still, two A-team tours should get him ready. The competition for berths in the limited-overs team is very tough for specialist batsmen, but he should be a starting lineup player in T20Is.
Unmukt Chand, Ishwar Pandey, Sid Kaul, Shami Ahmed and Parvez Rassool are barely a season or two old, and rushing them in is as good as jumping the gun. Four more seasons for them. Dhawan, Bhuv Kumar and Amit Mishra are products of the system, and should figure in the squad.
One position with little to no competition is that for the all-rounders spots. There seems one lone contender in Jadeja, who clearly is a step down from the discarded (Irfan, Yusuf) and ignored (Laxmi Shukla) lot. Not so much Yuvraj Singh, a far better batsman and equally competent bowler. Or Ashwin and Bhuv Kumar, capable batsmen to follow a very strong top six. The batting is strong, but taking ten wickets is a priority. Pick the top five bowlers. Guess what, at least two can bat.
Vinay Kumar, Bhuv Kumar and Umesh Yadav will form a competent seam-up attack, with a capable reserve in Irfan/Praveen.

How are the Indian domestic performers doing in the IPL? Let's see. We won't, however, see Mehul Patel or Aditya Waghmode play for an IPL side because nobody has signed them on!
Dinesh Karthik is carrying his Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy form into the IPL with good effect. Manprit Juneja, though, has struggled, but is getting better. One bloke who's been great in the domestic T20 but poor in the IPL is Unmukt Chand, though he's got out to very good balls or a great catch.
The strange case of Rishi Dhawan- a full-fledged all-rounder for Himachal, who neither bats nor bowls for Mumbai- surely, this bloke deserves more? He won't get much playing in this team.
Amit Mishra continues to impress here. He's been doing well in Hazare/Deodhar/SMAT, and takes it forward here. Surely a step into the national team?
Kedar Jadhav has been really good for Maharashtra and West Zone in limited-overs games but the team owners of Delhi, with whom he has signed up, don't give him a fair chance, often choosing Andre Russell or Jeevan Mendis or a back-from-layoff Irfan Pathan over him.
Mayank Agarwal was second in the runs tally in the SMAT, but struggled down the order, and somehow came into his own at the top. He has a very impressive T20 record, and should be called up for T20 matches, but is the trend of T20 specialists really a good thing? We wonder.
Gurkeerat Singh is one of Punjab's best T20 players, but didn't get a bat for Kings- not surprising, when they were chasing a paltry total of 100 and didn't lose too many wickets. Hopefully he'll get plenty of games this season.
Poor, poor Siddarth Kaul, can't even get a game at Nehra's expense for Delhi, despite being the second-highest wicket-taker in SMAT, and also leading the wickets chart for Ranji. Maybe the GMR bosses spend more time watching overseas T20 leagues than domestic cricket events? Likewise Ishwar Pandey, not getting a game for the poorly performing Pune team. Delhi have lost three straight games, while Pune have looked terrible in their first two. Surely an incentive to get these two in their respective playing XIs?
