There is a reason the WI will be limited to playing glorified associates soon. Picking your best players should be a no brainer and non negotiable

First and foremost is knowing how to pick length. If it’s full u play on the front foot by getting very close to ball as possible and if it’s short you play on the back foot by using the depth of the crease. The key is to create time to play the shot. Batting spin you cannot over commit... U need to give yourself enough time to get in the right positions to execute whatever shot you want to play. When you feel pressured it’s important to trust your defense. It’s very important to play to your strengths. Intent is key. (46)

Darren Bravo played 17 tests in Asia and averaged 54 in those tests with 5 hundreds to boot breds. I could be wrong but I believe you have to at least be remotely competent against spin to average 54 in Asian conditions. Highest of 195 by the way
