导出博客文章India have retained 15 of the 17 players who formed the Test squad for the tour
of West Indies, for the upcoming three-Test series at home against New Zealand.
The players to miss out were allrounder Stuart Binny and seamer Shardul
Thakur.Binny and Thakur played only one game in the Caribbean - the tour match
against the WICB Presidents XI. Binny was later included in the T20I squad for
the matches against West Indies in the USA, while Thakur joined the India A team
on their tour of Australia.Rohit Sharma is part of the Mumbai squad for a tour
match against the New Zealanders in Delhi from September 16. When asked if Rohit
would play, a Mumbai team official said they were waiting for confirmation from
the BCCI about his availability.Rohit is a fabulous player, immense talent he
has got, but he hasnt got a longer run in Test cricket, chairman of selectors
Sandeep Patil said after the selection meeting in Mumbai. What we have seen with
Rohit Sharma is, he has been picked for one Test and then rested an entire
season and again picked. So the selection committee, along with coach and
captain, have decided that whoever is be picked will be given a fair amount of
chances.Perhaps the biggest question ahead of the selection of Indias XI for the
first Test is about who will open. M Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan opened in the
first Test on the tour of West Indies, but Vijay was injured for the second Test
and KL Rahul took his chance and made 158 in Jamaica. Vijay was then left out of
the third Test while Rahul and Dhawan opened, but returned for the final match
in Trinidad, where he was slotted to open with Rahul before rain ruined the
game.Cheteshwar Pujara, who was replaced by Rohit in the third Test against West
Indies because India were playing five bowlers, and then did not bat in the
fourth Test, returned to form by scoring 166 and 256 at No. 3 in the ongoing
Duleep Trophy in Greater Noida.The squad contains three spinners - R Ashwin,
Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra - and four seamers - Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav,
Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar - giving India the option of several
combinations should they choose to play five bowlers.The series against New
Zealand is the beginning of a home season in which India will play 13 Tests
until March next year. The first match against New Zealand will be played in
Kanpur from September 22, while the second and third Tests will be held in
Kolkata and Indore.India are currently ranked No. 2 on the ICC Test rankings,
only a point behind Pakistan, while New Zealand are placed seventh. India had
briefly occupied the No. 1 ranking during the Test series against West Indies,
following Australias 3-0 defeat to Sri Lanka. They had a chance to consolidate
their top spot with a win in the fourth Test in Port of Spain but the match was
drawn because of rain and a wet outfield, and Pakistan climbed to No. 1 having
drawn their series against England 2-2.Squad: Virat Kohli (capt), Ajinkya
Rahane, R Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit
Mishra, Mohammed Shami, Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul, Wriddhiman Saha, Ishant
Sharma, Rohit Sharma, M Vijay, Umesh Yadav

this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league.
Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with
the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the
majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at
an elite level.

Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead
Saturday in the Web.Considering Carlos Brathwaite walloped four successive sixes
off Ben Stokes in the final over to win the World Twenty20 for West Indies, you
wouldnt think he was an anxious batsman. Yet the 27-year-old Barbadian
all-rounder - who is currently part of Delhi Daredevils squad in the star-filled
Indian Premier League - insists that was the case a few years ago.Brathwaite,
though, says the remedy has been simple - graft away in training and accept that
failure is inevitable. I realised that I could always hold my nerve with the
ball but with the bat I was always a bit jittery, Brathwaite told Sky Sports
Mark Butcher.I have worked really hard in the nets and in the lead-up to games
but I also know that, despite that, there could always be one ball with my name
on it or one that I middle straight to the fielder. At the beginning of that
over [in the World T20 final] it was a matter of knowing what I needed to do,
that if I failed it wouldnt be for a lack of preparation or trying, and that I
should just give it a go. Carlos Brathwaite I have now accepted that you can
fail - you will do that more than you perform - and that its not about failing
but how you react; that has kept me in better stead than trying to hold my
nerve.At the beginning of that over [in the World T20 final] it was a matter of
knowing what I needed to do, that if I failed it wouldnt be for a lack of
preparation or trying, and that I should just give it a go.Give it a go he did.
Brathwaite is embraced by Marlon Samuels after Windies dramatic win With West
Indies requiring 19 from six deliveries to lift the World T20 title for a second
time - they previously won it by beating hosts Sri Lanka in 2012 - Brathwaite
deposited Stokes into the stands at deep backward square, long-on, long-off and
deep midwicket.Marlon Samuels (85 not out) was at the non-strikers end but
Brathwaite says at no point did he consider nudging for one and going against
the positive approach West Indies had championed throughout.If you think 19 off
six youre next thought is no possible chance, said the powerful right-hander,
who took 3-23 in Englands score of 155-9.So I tried to take myself out of the
situation, out of the equation, out of the atmosphere, out of everything, and
narrow it down to bat versus ball - watch the ball and react. If I tried to hit
a single after hitting a six and then missed out on a rank half-volley or a full
toss and Stokes nailed fours yorkers against Marlon at the backend, then it was
on me. Carlos Brathwaite We had been preaching responsibility in the dressing
room from the beginning of the World Cup so if I tried to hit a single after
hitting a six and then missed out on a rank half-volley or a full toss annd
Stokes nailed fours yorkers against Marlon at the back-end, then it was on
me.ddddddddddddMy mind-set was that if I sky one in the air and get caught but
we cross then Marlon is batting, but if I get it away then there are less runs
to get at the back-end of the over.I just tried to maximise every delivery -
fortunately for me I hit four for six and we were World T20 champions.Despite a
second World T20 triumph in three tournaments, West Indies form in Test and
one-day international cricket has tailed off. West Indies celebrate on the
podium after defeating England The Caribbean clan are languishing in eighth spot
in the Test rankings, while they have failed to qualify for the 2017 ICC
Champions Trophy in England.Brathwaite believes the team have become stagnant in
the longer forms but hopes their T20 success can boost their fortunes in all
cricket.At this point we have the best T20 team in the world, but when it comes
to other formats we are yet to find the correct structure and the way we want to
play, he added.The longer the format, the more we are caught between wanting to
play our natural game and putting that into a concept of stretching it to 50
overs or Test cricket. The quicker we find a way to mesh our natural game and
the way the game is supposed to be played - or maybe we reinvent how we should
play - thats when youll see our results go up and up.Teams do go stagnant and
some drop from the glories and never reach those heights again - we are probably
stagnant and have been for a lot longer than we would like.But it only takes a
little spark to take teams back and I hope this T20 victory and the passion it
brought out in the Caribbean supporters gives the will to come back.Watch Delhi
