Former wicketkeeper-batsman MSK Prasad is in South Africa presently, traveling with the Indian group. But whether or no longer Prasad has any say in selecting the eleven forward of a Test match is absolutely unclear. In any case, with Prasad no longer round, handiest two full-time selectors occur to be back in India when no less than a dozen batsmen from more than a few states have already busy knocking on the India doorways.
Close to 12 years ago, when former India Test batsman Dilip Vengsarkar took over because the chairman of selectors, it used to be his name that brought the likes of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ishant Sharma and so much many others into global center of attention. That apart, as the chief selector traveling with the Indian group to England in 2007, Vengsarkar performed a task in selecting the final eleven for an aspect that won that collection.
Right now, with the Indian top order clearly suffering to search out its feet in South Africa, TOI has discovered that the group control is bound of the steps it is going to wish to take if the match at the Wanderers finally ends up anywhere with reference to those at Newlands and the SuperSport Park.
Mayank Agarwal, 26, from Bengaluru and 18-year-old Prithvi Shaw from Mumbai are two amongst a list of 10 to 12 prospective batsmen who have proven the fitting doable to make a case for nationwide selection. Meanwhile, the likes of Karun Nair and Kedar Jadhav, who have already featured in Indian XIs at home, are at the front in the queue that's handiest rising.
The query is how merely two selectors back in India are monitoring this type of vast ecosystem with Prasad on excursion.
The selectors picked Parthiv Patel as the second one wicket-keeper in this excursion of South Africa and now with Wriddhiman Saha getting injured, they made up our minds to fly in Dinesh Karthik as alternative. The choice smacked of a mindset to stay taking a look back to the former decade as a substitute of taking a look forward to the approaching one.
The BCCI will do higher to have a pre-mandated guideline for the selection committee alongside answering the all-important query surrounding Prasad and the Test match playing eleven.
