Yes, the Indian team is Looking balanced with senior and news comers, maybe this is the experiment to hunt the young talents for upcoming t20 world cup campaign so the young talents have to use the opportunity to get a place in upcoming t20 world cup and this t20 series will play a key role to select the t20 world cup to Indian young playas.
I think it's a good chance for Bangladesh to beat India. Although all the players are well performed, I doubt they will be able to win against Bangladesh. The Indian team is totally a new one other than Shikhar and Rohit. Bangladesh may get a very good tour this time.
Bangladesh will play with all the players, Tamim will be missed probably which I liked, lol.

Bangladesh team is also going through a lot of turmoil, and they also won't be in a good state right now. The players have threatened to go on strike at a crucial time. A series against India happens only once every two or three years and the BCB is heavily dependent on the revenues from this series. If the players conduct a strike, then their plans can get disrupted.

And looking at the Indian team, it is composed of a mix of experienced and young players. Sanju Samson recently slammed a 200 in a domestic one day match and he will be looking forward to cement his place in the Indian team as the wicket keeper batsman. There are a few others, such as Dube, Sundar, Rahul Chahar.etc being given a chance here. If they can perform, then they can get permanent positions within the senior team.

Today is a very crucial day with the T20 World Cup Qualifiers. 6 teams out of the total 14 would be qualifying for the next year's T20 world cup and with just one more round to play, only two slots have been decided till now. As of now, Papua New Guinea and Oman have qualified (for the first phase of the next year's world cup). Four more slots remain open.

Ireland and Netherlands are almost assured of a slot, as they have matches against weak sides today (Nigeria and Netherlands). But this is T20 cricket and there is no surety of anyone winning any matches. Scotland was regarded as the no.1 ranking side in this tournament, but they have suffered several setbacks. They need to win their last match (against a strong Netherlands). Also, there is a match between UAE and Canada scheduled for tomorrow, and the winner of that match will qualify.

As far as I know, Dhoni, Kohli and most other senior players will not play in the Bangladesh tour. I guess team will be a combination of both young and senior, BCCI is likely to try with young players. It would be certainly good for future team.
I did not knew that they already selected the team and majority are fresh faces

Here is the Indian squad for the series

Good for Shyas Iyer and Shivam dube, excited to watch Sanju Samson, if i am not wrong he recently made 200+ runs in Vijay hajare trophy match.
Am happy that Iyer and Sanju were selected since these both have displayed how good they are recently. Am excited to see Samson behind the wicket.
I am more excited about Sanju's batting skills and hope he play as a pure batsman in this series, which means both Sanju and Pant playing in the squad. I don't mind if KL rahul sit outside whole series.  Grin

India is still searching for a replacement for Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Wriddhiman Saha is 35, and I don't think that the selectors are going to consider him in the long term. The first choice is Rishabh Pant, but his recent form was not very good. And this is where the opportunity comes in for Sanju Samson. His only disadvantage is that he hails from one of the smaller state boards.
Saha is establish name in Test format but i doubt if anyone try to fit him in Shorter format. IPL is another ball game tho. i don't agree on "smaller state board" comment, We have many examples but best example is Dhoni.

@FanEagle True he deserve a farewell game.

I wont say its unfair to Dhoni but i would put it like this " Preparation for T-20 WC next year" and I strongly believe that everyone including team management wants to give Dhoni a farewell series or game. as of now management eyeing on T-20 WC that's why they are focusing on Rishab Pant and Sanju Samson (batsman who can act as keeper) as a wicket keeper batsman. who knows if they both fail then there might be some chances for Dhoni to play in T-20 WC.
So far I have heard about farewell match and this is first time I come across about "farewell series". I believe India must be preparing for a grand farewell for Mahindra Singh Dhoni. I am not sure that t20 WC is going to venue at India, because managements would prefer a home match for farewell planning up.

Dhoni deserves big farewell in my opinion too as he won for India 3 ICC titles also having impressive records with cloves and skipper. Let's wait for any big announcement from Dhoni side on his retirements before making so many assumptions on his farewell and all other related things.

The latest news from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 is that Oman has qualified for the 2020 World Cup. They have got 8 points, and even if they lose the next match (against a weak Jersey side), they would still qualify for the 2020 T20 CWC. Ireland also looks all set to qualify, provided that they can defeat Nigeria tomorrow (Nigeria is yet to win a match so far).

There is a lot of time for T20 WC to happen and lot of opportunities for youngsters to make their destiny on their own. Its competition for the T20 WC squad and will be exciting to see which one will prove himself.
Since they are facing Bangladesh resting the top players and giving opportunity to youngsters is the way to go as we need give more opportunities to youngsters in the team and if they are proving themselves to handle their own in the international stage then the bench strength will increase, India already have a good team but they need to have more explosive batsmen in the team.

really proud to see that these boys are getting opportunity to showcase their talents and represent the country or play in the IPL Kiss.

Well its good to develop youngsters as well from time to time. IPL is a good platform but international matches are on a whole different level and I love to see that management is giving opportunities to such youngsters.

On a personal note i am really happy to see Sanju Samson in the team and i am hoping to see Sandeep Warrier too playing for the nation one day as these are my boys and i know Sandeep Warrier from his small age as he was my relatives neighbor while his father was a banker and got posted in Mumbai when he was a small kid, really proud to see that these boys are getting opportunity to showcase their talents and represent the country or play in the IPL Kiss.

I guess you are from Kerala. While I agree that Sanju Samson is one of the future stars for India, I am not that optimistic about Sandeep Warrier. He is a good bowler, but he doesn't have the pace that is needed at the international level. He is more of a medium pace bowler, with limited attack variety. I watched him playing in the Duleep Trophy. He looked quite ordinary.

Also, you need to remember that there is a lot of competition for the pace bowling slots now. Two of the slots are fixed (Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami). Ishant is currently the third choice pacer, with Umesh giving tough competition to him. Then there are other bowlers such as Jaydev Unadkat, Avesh Khan, Ankit Rajpoot, Ishan Porel, Basil Thampi and Varun Aaron playing for the B team.

Yes in that match Sanju Samson smashed a double century and Sachin Baby gave him a good support scoring a century of his own.

Watched the Namibia vs Kenya T20 match today (T20 World Cup Qualifier). There was some terrific hitting by the Namibian batsmen, who amassed more than 70 runs during the last 5 overs (many thanks to Star Sports 3 for showing the matches in India). Now Namibia is having a very good chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, with 6 points from 5 matches. However, even now the situation is not clear. Almost all the teams still have a chance of qualifying with one match each remaining.

My guess is that Dhoni himself might have told the management to continue experimenting with the youngsters and he might return in the future against stronger teams. He will most likely retire after the T-20 World Cup in 2020 in my opinion.
There is no clarity reading this and i highly doubt that Dhoni will request the management to continue with the experiment and then the selectors will come out and say something else, if there was an intention like that from Dhoni the selectors will tell that rather than giving other excuses
You are underestimating the influence that high level players like Dhoni have over team management and the board itself. If he wanted to retire quickly, he would have done so after the World Cup itself. He will return in the near future in my opinion.

I personally would like to see Dhoni in the world cup squad as he is the best T20 captain and his track record is the proof.

What about your option upcoming t20 series between Sri Lanka vs Australia, because of Sri Lankan team have good records in t20 matches and they have played t20 series with Pakistan and won the series 3-0, the same things are going to repeat with Australia?.
Playing in Australia is a different ball game all together for Sri Lanka, Steve Smith is back in the international T20 team after 2016 and if Warner finds his form then it will be difficult for Sri Lanka, they white washed Pakistan with a young team but defeating Australia is a tough task and Australia too having some young players like Ashton Turner and this will be a good test for both teams to test and finalize the best team for the upcoming world cup.

If any of the above two batsman find the form than you can expect the firecracker performance from the team or their chances automatically increases of winning against the SL. Though not underestimating SL, but considering the firepower OZ have they have better chance of winning it.

Am expecting Australia to win this one quite easily since they are in a different league when compared to Pakistan at the moment. Warner is the key player here and if he gets going, Australia will be flying high.
I am not expecting a different result either as Australia called back Smith and Warner will be playing his natural game and if they loose wickets then Smith will play the anchor role to hold the team together.

I find it odd that Ashton Turner got an opportunity so quickly after recording 5 ducks in a row a couple of months back. This is weird and am not expecting much from him frankly speaking.
Ashton Turner is a clean striker of the ball and in T20 he will be an asset in this shorter format of the game, they are giving him an opportunity and if he can perform then he will be in the team for the world cup.
