Like maximum different teams, we have now decided with reference to the core staff that will determine within the World Cup.

I've completely no concern about our pace bowling backups. Apart from our premier five fast bowlers, we have now reserve bunch of 5 fast bowlers who're competent sufficient to get into the senior staff. Hardik (Pandya) lends just right stability as he can chip in with ball and bat. His fielding adds that edge.
Did you spot Umesh Yadav's Ranji Trophy performance?
Umesh bowled well within the Ranji semis and final. He bowled well towards West Indies within the two Test suits that we played towards them at home. It's unlucky that he couldn't get sufficient alternatives while taking part in in a foreign country.

How do you spot Kuldeep and Chahal evolving as Test spinners?
Kuldeep has bowled extremely well within the alternatives he has had. He is no doubt a brilliant prospect across all codecs. We have tried Chahal within the longer codecs by means of placing him in India 'A' squads however he appears to be more comfortable with the white ball. Having said that, if he's prepared to position within the laborious yards in red-ball cricket, he's maximum welcome to take action and we will be able to observe his development.
How pleasurable has been the emergence of Mayank Agarwal?
We have shaped a consortium of selectors and staff management, consisting of Virat, Ravi Shastri and his beef up team of workers and Rahul Dravid.

We have put him within the India 'A' squad to play towards the England Lions so that he can spend a while within the middle and get back in some form.
How pleasurable has it been to look the resurgence of pacer Mohammed Shami across codecs?
It is wonderful to look Shami' s form in both the longer and shorter codecs. What used to be missing in him previous used to be his fitness. Credit should be given to the teacher Shankar Basu and physio Patrick (Farhart), who've put him on a certain fitness programme. We can not take the rest away from Bharat Arun (bowling coach).
