Who does Chase replace?
Motie or Lawes?
Campbell
Auguste
Carty
Hope
Rutherford
Hetmyer
Chase
Forde/Greaves
Alzarri
Seales
.........?
And how does Jangoo fit in despite scoring a 50?
@Seechy
Jangoo should be the chosen opener specially in India.....need players, who once set can score big.....
Jangoo
Greaves
Carty/Campbell
Hope
Hety
Rutherford
Chase
Joseph
Forde
Seales
Motie/Lawes
Indian as very good players of spin...
Carty is very susceptible against spin...
@natty_forever
Campbell unproven in ODI....
Carty has scores but sitting duck against spin...
Campbell in squad...he scored century in India in test..... aggressive...plays well against spin... usually throws away his wicket....
King is another player,who has been regularly selected but failed....
Of the three...my pick Campbell....
Taking into consideration..Bumrah,Prasidha,Axar, Washington, Kuldeep,Varun...
@Seechy
Who does Chase replace?
Would have to be Motie
Motie averages 20 with the bat and 30 with the ball
Chase averages 24 with the bat and 35 with the ball
Essentially they do similar jobs
But Chase is 27’s boy and therefore, barring injury, will always be one of the first names in 27’s starting XI
@Onionman0
Greaves is not an ODI opener, I wish they'd abandon this, he's now played mostly as an opener, 9 matches, averaging 19.
He was doing well at 6, put him back there or 7, or none at all,
Campbell
King
Jangoo
Hope
Rutherford
Hetmyer
Forde
Motie
Aljo
Seales
Lawes
@DIEHARD
Greaves is not an ODI opener, I wish they'd abandon this,
Justin Greaves scored 3 centuries on the trot while opening the batting in a recent Super 50 competition
@imusic
List A is not ODI, but he is the one eyed man in Blindville.
Playing him ahead of King also gives WI the 6th bowler option
A deeper look in his ODI stats shows he's batted at #6 vs Ireland and Bangladesh but opened vs Australia, New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka , maybe the opposition is the reason for his better record at 6.

Motie averages 20 with the bat and 30 with the ball
Chase averages 24 with the bat and 35 with the ball
Where did you pluck a bowling average of 35 from? Machel's recent video bigging up Thanos? He is wrong.
Roston Chase has an ODI bowling average of 44.44, economy of 4.91, strike rate of 54.2.
Gudakesh Motie has an ODI bowling average of 30.88, economy of 4.74, strike rate of 39.0.
Despite Mach classing Chase as a bowling all rounder, his bowling stats are piss poor compared to Motie's. Plus Motie recently took a five-fer and almost single-handedly won the match which would have decided the series. Does he deserve to be dropped for a lesser player?
I would take Motie as a bowling all rounder every day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
@Seechy

Very much agree. But as long as 27 in charge, Chase will be preferred. Nothing you, I, nor anyone else can do about that.
Seechy…….AS I SAID
I know this is Test cricket, but 27 isn’t fond of Motie. Pretty surprised to see Da Silva still in the squad.
Guessing Alazari might be injured & unavailable.
looks like King flat out get drop. Most definitely Anderson Phillip was dropped.
