We are sleep walking into a Nitish Reddy debut as Fast bowling All rounder in Perth & I am not complaining. That Shardul Thakur spot was always up for grabs.
Harshit Rana is in the mix as he should be. Good to have Dayal out. Just don't pick left armer in test cricket for the sake of it. Better sense prevailed.

Harshit most definitely is . Mayank is likely to be with the squad. Don't think BCCi will let him play Ranji Trophy to risk injury. He will play T20 cricket for the time being.Apprehantly bumarh was named vice captain and harshit mayank prasidh and nitish were among reserves in nz series. Does that mean mayank and rana are in contention for bgt
Looks like this is the pecking order as of now.
Bumrah
Siraj (on thin ice)
Akash
Shami (when fit he is no 2)
Harshit
Prasidh
All of these guys will be in squad for BGT.

Not really too keen on Prasidh currently..... Will prefer Mayank or someone else

Prasidh was decentish in final stages of Duleep Trophy. Problem was always his attitude & lack of fast bowling mindset. He has everything otherwise. Height Pace Bounce.
In any case Harshit over him anyday of the week. More well rounded pacer with high pace and hit the deck skills.
Mayank is way too green at this level. Maybe test him out at A tour of Australia first.

Hopefully we gamble on Ish Sodhi (arriving for the 2nd test on) instead of Santner.
Our best attack is probably O'Rourke, Henry, Ajaz, Ish, Phillips

Just going off Latham’s comments to Cricinfo it seems the team will be responding to their drubbing by Sri Lankan with a free wheeling attacking approach aka playing like headless chooks and throwing their wickets away. The licence to ‘have a go’ without fear (of consequences) will be liberating for the like of Blundell, out 3 times out of 4 reverse sweeping in Sri Lanka: now he can really pin his ears back and have a crack. Of course, you’re not really putting anyone under pressure with a freewheeling approach if you collapse in a heap.
‘"From my point of view it's about trying to continue doing the good stuff we've been doing, trying to put my spin on things," Latham said. "It's an exciting challenging going over to India and once we can go over there hopefully [we can] play with a bit of freedom, bit of no fear and try and take it to them. If we do that hopefully gives ourselves a good chance. I think in India we've seen teams that have done well out there in the past have been quite aggressive towards them, especially with the bat they've looked to play a few shots, but also put them under pressure which is really important over there rather than sitting and waiting for something to happen. We'll decide on how we want to play when we get over there, but guys have got plans around how they like to approach things and hopefully we can fine tune those."’

A much quieter, calmer place. Same city, but no kids.
Though I'm currently listening to the joyful sound of my 10-year-old knocking her newly purchased bat in. It's the sound of Summer and it's here!

Need harshit to debut in one of the tests
Apex Predator
State Vice-Captain
Yeah going with only 3 fit Pacers to Australia in a 5 test series is asking for too much.
Maybe rest Bumrah for second game and insert Harshit into the team.

James altered the filter. But also means we can say bullshit again.

Need to get prasidh into bgt squad
I honestly doubt anyone in the traveling reserves is going to get playing time, but if I had to choose, I'd be looking at one of Nitish or Harshit to come in. Prasidh at the very least is somewhat known, he just needs to be fit and ready and Mayank is really new and isn't really filling the role India need in the side. Nitish if I had to choose.
