Second will be India’s B team.
Ind can field 3 world class teams simultaneously.
That is why we promoted the Idea of a World Cup of Provinces &, another World Cup of Nations.
How many wk batters Ind has got. Rahul, Samson, Pant, Ishan, Jurell
All rounders – Now 4 r playing. 56789- Axar, Rahul, Pandya, Jadeja with Sivam Dube, Shardul Takur, Harshid Rana and Nitish sitting out.
Batsen – Jaiswal, Karun, Abhishek, Tilak Varam sitting out.
Why Champions Trophy ? Isnt it a Second World Cup ?. Let this be a World Cup of Provinces.
If there are ten nations, if we take the Champion of Domestic Championships, we have ten teams. Vidarbha may play Victoria and Surrey, Maharshtra !
If we take the finalists of each country, we have 20 teams and semi finalists, 40 teams.
40 teams is not a big number, as the largest Championship, Ranji, is played with 38 teams.
28 state teams + 4 UTs + Railways + Services + Vidharbha + Bombay + Saurashtra + Baroda = 38 teams
England has 29 stadiums and Ind ,53. There shou;d be games in those stadiums.
Ranji is as imperfect as World Cup. Like UK having 3 teams, Maharashtra has 3 teams and Gujarat, 3.
England, Scotland, Ireland, Bombay, Vidharbha, Saurashtra & Baroda !
So neither is the World Cup, a WC of nations
Nor is Ranji, an Indian Cup of Provinces !
