I will get mad if they drop Pant and Kuldeep.

There are no other openers with Dhawan. So Pant will play.. Kuldeep might have to wait..

Is Rahane also not in the squad ?

He is. But he isn't playing as an opener but play in the middle order instead for some time now. So expect, Pant to open the innings.

We need guys like Pant. Hope he succeeds.

One of thing I hate about the BCCI is the amount of cricket that India play back to back. How can you expect players to excel when they're consistently playing cricket with no breaks. Really needed a minimum of a 1-month break before the West Indies series.

Absolutely agreed, they make players work like anything, didn't know last time when we had a break for Indian team. I thought of a second atring squad for this tour but they didn't.

I thought they will rest the likes of kohli/bhuvi/msd. But very surprised they sent full fledged squad.

like anything

Like donkeys.

What would Kohli and all gain from this tour?

You already have an almost certain playing XI against any of the sides. A string two team would perhaps be enough. But to waste older players like Dhoni and Yuvi is a real joke from BCCI.

I mean I doubt they're going to make a lot of money from this series either.
