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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
To prepare the team for the next world cup is a good thing and if they are giving Sanju Samson and other young talents an opportunity then it will be great, Bangladesh will be touring India and it will be a good time to test new players and give them the opportunity to have some exposure playing international cricket, Rishab Pant got some opportunities it is time to test the rest of the players that are performing well in the IPL.

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.

Seems Dhoni is not in Team management T-20 WC plan anymore, as far as i remember Dhoni wanted to play in T-20 wc. Truth to be told Dhoni needs to speak about his retirement plan asap, may be everything is behind the curtains or we can only wait for his farewell game? 
It is really unfair to do that to Dhoni as majority of the Indian fans want to see Dhoni in the team and give him a farewell as he is the first T20 world cup winning captain where he took a young team and surprised everyone by bringing home the trophy and that kick started the T20 trend in Indian and hence IPL was introduced and became a huge success, so give him a good farewell as a token of respect.

I’m not surprised to see Indian selectors leaving their ex captain out, as this was done with their former Captain Ganguly too. What surprised me was Virat’s failure to take a stand for MS Dhoni, considering all the things MS Dhoni has done for him it’s sad he didn’t feel the need to give him a farewell match.
No need to jump to conclusions. Prasad is a dumb selector who actually thought that Vijay Shankar possessed 3-Dimensional skills which is why its best not to take his word for granted. Also, Kohli is someone who admires MSD a lot and I am don't think he will simply abandon him.

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.

We have to wait and see how far Sri Lanka will manage their performance with Australia because we shouldn't underestimate the Australia team. We have seen many records in T20 team from Australia and I think it is going to be a very good contest between Sri Lank and Australia.

This seems to be quite difficult outcomes beacuse their is a difference between Pakistan team and OZ team. Though even if bangladesh is able to come near OZ or beat them in couple of matches it will be a great effort from them considering OZ is quite better when it comes to T20.

I'm not sure how much efficient it will be if Dhoni plays the T20 world cup. It's better to talk about form/performance/fitness than any other things.
I barely have seen Indian players got a good retirement, they used to get a controversy usual, probably because they want to play as long as possible. Look back at Sehwag, Ganguly or even Sachin, none of them got a pleasured retire.

No its cannot happen because Australia is completely different team and at home they are very tough to beat Sri Lanka can give them good competition but Sri Lanka won like they won in Pakistan its not easy job.

I agree with you Australia team is totally different compare to other teams, but I have seen that last t20 parties match happened between Sri Lanka VS Australia in that match Australian pmxi team bit disappointed to me, because of there is a one-man show from Australia pmxi team, and Harry Nielsen did a great job there.

"We are moving on" - MSK Prasad on MS Dhoni

Quote
End of the road for Dhoni?

"We are moving on". MSK Prasad, the chief selector, stated thrice through the course of the press conference that the selection committee will "continue to back the youngsters" and persist with them. "Going into domestic cricket, getting his touch back or thoughts about retirement, everything is purely his personal [decision]," Prasad said. "We've already laid the roadmap for the future, I'm sure you can see in the way we are selecting the teams.”

I’m not surprised to see Indian selectors leaving their ex captain out, as this was done with their former Captain Ganguly too. What surprised me was Virat’s failure to take a stand for MS Dhoni, considering all the things MS Dhoni has done for him it’s sad he didn’t feel the need to give him a farewell match.
