So I think you are being too hard on these young guys. If they don't get a chance in such bilateral then what's the use of India A performances? The majority of young guys come into the national team after performing for India A, they are not airdropped.

I disagree. I evaluated their performances over a long period of time(Not a short period) which is why I stand by whatever I stated. There are far better bowlers in comparison, but they aren't getting their chances thanks to these bad performers.

Bishnoi and Axar are the only ones who I like among them. Axar is easily one of the best all-rounders for India across all formats.

I was replying to someone else but okay

Arshdeep was the leading wicket taker for India in the last T-20 WC, he's also the leading wicket taker in T-20 since his debut. Krishna is fairly young in T-20I and played only 4-5 T-20 matches, like I said these guys are not airdropped. Krishna is quite good in 50 overs and a performer in FC/India A. Atm they are trying him in T-20, give him at least 10 matches and if he still fails then try someone else.

Speaking of far better bowlers, you can't bring anyone to the national team just like that. There is a process, you have to perform in domestic cricket then India A or if someone wants to get into the T-20I setup quickly then perform in the IPL or perform a couple of years in Mushtaq Ali Trophy and if you are a good performer in the latter tournament then you are already playing in the IPL. Arshdeep did that in IPL and he's a decent performer in domestic cricket as well.

Bhuvi and Yadav are not a contenders anymore. Deepak Chahar is good but he's always injured, guess he's coming back for the last 2 matches. Natarajan is good but he's also injury prone and got dropped due to his injuries. Mukesh Kumar is a new guy and looking decent but he took a leave recently and left the T-20 squad. Umran Malik has pace but he's not ready yet. Tushar Deshpande is a work in progress (won't get much chance imo).

Whenever the likes of Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Hardik and Shardul are not available, then management tries their best to rotate new guys on a regular basis and you have to remember you can't have 20 Men's squads for the series.
