00:00Shubmangil Captain, Yashya Shwee Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Devdutt Padikal, Dhruv Jurel,
00:16Ravindra Jadeja, he will be the Vice Captain for this series, Washington Sundar, Jaspreet
00:29Bumrah, Akshar Patel, Nithish Kumar Reddy, Muhammad Siraj, Prasid Krishna, Kuldi Piyadav,
00:46and N. Jagdishah.
00:48What explains the Yabimad Nishwars?
00:54Why is he not part of this?
00:57I mean, normally when you travel, you carry 16 or 17.
01:01You take a third opener.
01:03Here, if there is some injury or something goes wrong, you can always fly a guy out and play him.
01:10Here, you get an extra spinning all-rounder in Akshar Patel who wasn't part of the squad to England and we only picked 15 years.
01:18So, there is nothing to his story.
01:20KL Rahul and Jaiswal haven't done too badly.
01:22So, at the moment, we don't need a third opener just sitting out in the squad.
01:26If need be, we can always fly him and play the test.
01:30We feel Padikal offers a little bit more at this point and I wish we could give everyone 15 or 20 tests.
01:38Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.
01:40Padikal's been in the test squad.
01:41I mean, he was in the test squad in Australia, played in Dharamsala against England, got a 50 there.
01:46So, he's shown some decent form with India.
01:51Frankly, we expected a bit more from Karun on the England trip there.
