I wonder what happened to the Ireland team which was performing alright in past World cup outings.

Well.. they couldn't qualify for the event. The number of participants was reduced from 14 to 10, and as a result teams such as Zimbabwe and Ireland missed out. Ireland actually finished at no.5 position during the qualifiers and only the top two (West Indies and Afghanistan) qualified for the main event.

Interesting. Never knew there was a Russian cricket team out there. Majority of these players don't even seem like they are Russian natives. Nothing surprising at all in this case.

Even Brazil, Argentina have cricket team and they are associate member of ICC. But they seem to have a long journey toward the world cup stage.
Is it 2015 or 2011 world cup where England were beaten by Ireland? They used to perform better then.

Indian Team Squad World Cup 2019

Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik

Happy for Dinesh Karthik and Vijay Shankar they deserve the spot in this Squad. Feel bad for Rishab pant but it's his fault anyway, he had to take his game seriously from now on and stop repeating the same mistake again and again. 

A curious case is Ambati Raydu, 4 months back he was considered to be a permanent member of World cup squad, but times changes quickly.

I didn't like KL Rahul selection due to his last year form but Selectors and Team management still think he can contribute to the Indian team. I wish the same for him because now he's in Indian Team and we must support him despite our bias but I will repeat last time anyway that he played shitty cricket by all means in last year  Grin
KL Rahul is in good form right now , he scored a century couple of matches ago and I feel its a good decision to include him . I am happy about choosing Dinesh Karthik over Pant for this world cup , right choice.

Perhaps they can qualify for the 2039 world cup.  Grin

But one thing that I have noticed is that the Russian cricket team is composed of about 50%+ natives. This is good for their future prospects as a cricket team. Now compare this to the teams from UAE, Canada and the US (all of them have 0% native players). Canada used to have 2-3 native players (John Davison, Ian Billcliff, Geoff Barnett, Stewart Heaney, Barry Seebaran.etc), but they left the team due to differences with the management.

I would have selected Anamul in the place of Mosaddek. Abu Jayed is a new player, he seems to be doing well. However, I believe Bangladesh will have a better tournament than the previous. Wishing best luck for my native, Team Bangladesh.

Vijay Shankar is an allrounder and in England pitch he will be more effective and that is what selectors thought about him i guess, it was a tough selection for Pant and Rayudu.
Don't we have enough all rounders already? In terms of batting alone, Pant is way better than Vijay and Vijay is not a great bowler either which is why I still stand by my opinion that Pant should have been selected ahead of Shankar in this regard.

Surprising that Dinesh Karthik was picked ahead of Rishabh Pant. Both are performing well right now, but I would have rather gone with the 21-year old Pant than the 33-year old Karthik. But it is tough, when you don't have powerful people supporting you.
Lol. You are hilarious. DK made the cut thanks to this awesome talent and his ability to finish games as Mr. Prasad of the BCCI stated which is why your statement that powerful people supported him is silly in this case.

Indian Team Squad World Cup 2019

~EDITED OUT~

I didn't like KL Rahul selection due to his last year form but Selectors and Team management still think he can contribute to the Indian team. I wish the same for him because now he's in Indian Team and we must support him despite our bias but I will repeat last time anyway that he played shitty cricket by all means in last year  Grin
There's no other good option than KL Rahul for the opening in case one of Shikhar and Rohit get injured or whatever. Rayudu could make it but whom do you think he could replace? I think this squad is the best for India.

Not really actually, he's actually really bad performer if not the worst. he only got selected because of Virat and Shastri. and Backup opener is mouthpiece tbh. no surprise there if he bats on No 3 as well and Virat moving to number 4 spot.

And don't forget the World cup is in England, not Indian subcontinent. we should not forget what happened in the England tour.

His batting stats, have a glance and judge by yourself, did he really deserved his spot? I would be happier if he perform well in the World cup and wins the game for India because he's representing the Indian team in the World cup and like other Indian supporters I want the Indian team to win.

With due respect to your opinion but you are kinda wrong here.

Rishab got a lot more sugar daddy than Dinesh Kartik. if you don't believe me then please Check Dinesh Kartik All career, he's the unluckiest cricketer in this squad, whenever team management wanted to cut someone, Dinesh Kartik arguably was the first choice because of his age, especially in recent time, despite his good performance.

Rishab only mistake was that he threw away the opportunity by playing many shitty shots during the crunch moments. He's a very talented and destructive batsman and I am a supporter and fan of Rishab Pant since his under 19 world cup days. but here he did silly mistakes and showed that he's not ready for World cup.

Nice to see Vijay Shankar in the list. I had a feeling that he will get chance and that's why I listed him too.

Vijay Shankar showed good content so far along with Jadeja, that's why they are in Squad. I would say they surely deserve their spot in this squad and Playing XI can be tricky tho...

because if Jadeja is in playing XI then Chahal is out. 3 regular seamer can't play in the same match too otherwise Indian tailender can start from no 7 which is very suicidal if top order fails, we have seen this scenario many times.

Best of luck team India.

It is true, may be they have looked at the experience level of Dinesh karthik over the youngster in Rishabh Pant as he is having plenty of time to play another major tournament if he establish himself, but getting a chance to play in the playing eleven for Dinesh Karthik is another thing, unless there is an injury for Dhoni he wont be playing any game. Smiley

I agree with 90% of the squad, but I am surprised to Vijay Shankar being picked over Pant. Vijay has a lot to prove since the selectors are taking a gamble on him since he offers extra dimensions when compared to Pant and Rayudu.

Rayudu is not in the world cup squad then how could he replace when anyone got injured...

Shikar and Rohit will be openers and Kohli will be following them in 1 down. Jaddu and Vijay Shankar are special added flavours for the team. Hope they will fulfil the expectation what BCCI have on them.

I've not followed Dhoni's performance in recent matches of IPL; however, I've got a feeling that Dhoni will be an epic failure for the Indian team if he's taken for the world cup. His experience can definitely help the team, but coming up in the middle-order, when the team requires a faster score, MS is no longer appropriate, especially on the difficult pitches.

You'll see what I'm talking about once the world cup begins.

He is playing quite well for CSK and I want Dhoni in this world cup as it will be his last. I always have felt that even when is batting score is poor, his presence still helps the team and we need someone like him from the older team to manage the team properly. As a WC, I haven't seen anyone as good and alert as him.

Yes, Dhoni is the most consisting player to be played in the WC, but everything is based on the selectors. I hope today BCCI is going to announce who are the 15 members going to be played in the coming WC, i hope Dhoni should be in the list and there is a higher chance for him.

Your analysis of Dhoni who has become a legend in the world of Cricket is completely wrong and downright stupid. Are you even watching the IPL?

Super batsman
Amazing wicketkeeper
Uber cool captaincy skills

At present, CSK has won every single game and lost only 1 game and they will be the first team to qualify once again this year. Think before trying to bad-mouth such a magnificent player.

He may be a legend (no one is going to deny that), but that doesn't grant him immunity from criticism. I would also say that Dhoni needs to score runs at a faster pace, especially during the final 10 overs. As far as the ODIs are concerned, Virat Kohli is a much better player.
Virat Kohli is a better batsman than Dhoni currently who is still a great batsman, but he is leagues away in terms of captaincy skills when compared to MSD. Also, MSD is rated as one of the best wicketkeepers in the world of Cricket which is why he is a better player in these aspects.

Virat is now the top performed player. If you consider all the wicrkt-keeper from all team, who will be the best and what will Dhoni be positioned. I think Dhoni will be the 4-5thth wicket keeper with the performance of batting. No doubt that anyone else can have a good batting but you know without Dhoni's direction in the field, India will be the worst team under Kohli's captaincy and so does under any other captain. So, if team India decides to keep away Dhoni from playing XI, that will be the worst decision from Indian team.

Dhoni and Kohli makes a good pair and both had a good captain experience as well and balances the team according to their style. This experience will help the team in the long run as new comers and senior players will keep learning form them.
