Important now to start getting mandatory batting camps set-up. Get Lara, Adams, Sarwan, Bravo involved.

Everyone from Jewell, Kevlon, Tage, Wickham, Drakes, Jangoo needs to be at these.

Anyone who doesn't appear should lose there entitlement to domestic retainers.

No point throwing Kevlon, Louis to the wolves. They aren't ready.

Hope nor Chase didn't look any better technically in this series, Greaves puts effort in but he's not up to it against this opposition at this level, Holder and even Mayers would be better selections.

King played the best innings of any West Indies batter in that 70 odd knock, too keen in that last innings.

I'd like to see Tage back but he needs to be playing, JDS should've been in the squad for the Oz series.

Agred regarding Louis but who should open then? Keacy Carty did look good so perhaps he can come in for Louis. Perhaps King can open? Tage not ready. Holder is an interesting pick but is he willing? What about Rutherford?

Wait and see if the Indian Cricket Council doesn't cancel this tour, then we can pick a squad.

I think they need to get some sort of foundation 1-6, King may open, but I think if you play him at 3 then with all due respect, he is likely to be in early.

If Rutherford was keen then he comes in at 6, let him play his normal game.

Holder, he would have been my choice for captain, even if it was until the end of 2026.

I have questions over JDS ability behind the stumps in tests, but I think there is a batsman in there.

We know KB has been poor a couple of years now, but while the other options are Campbell, Louis etc he still gets considered.
