Pant was given enough opportunities recently, but he failed. Now it may be time for the Indian selectors to give someone else a chance. MSD needs to be replaced sometime soon, as he is already 38 years old. At the most, he has another 1-2 years left with him. The selectors need to act quickly and needs to find a replacement before he retires.

In my opinion, MSD won't be retiring anytime soon which is a great thing due to the following reasons:

- No suitable wicket-keeper worth replacing him currently(Pant is alright)
- Kohli still cannot help India win big tournaments on his own(Relies heavily on MSD)
- Though his strike rate has reduced, his ability to bat deep has helped save India on numerous occasions and a suitable replacement has still not been found

If these 3 factors are addressed perfectly, I think he might finally retire in my opinion.

Yes mate you are right there is no one else can replace for ms dhoni for present Indian cricket team, May be ms dhoni will help to find the the best replace for him if he play until next workd cup, so ms dhoni have to come back as a Indian team captain.

Every wish is not going to fulfill and MS Dhoni is also not coming again Captain of Indian Cricket Team because right now Kohli is doing perfect duty and until next world cup they could be more good and aggressive as new talent is coming right now they have some problems but as coaching staff is doing they could be find some good players in near future.

If that's the case we can also indicate Kohli doing almost equal contribution as Dhoni has done on winning the matches. There is lack of captaincy which can be developed little by little, and Dhoni as a cricketer has a wide vision and takes right decision at the right time, even on his plans of getting retired. Kohli will smash all the records of Sachin soon by 2022.

Ms Dhoni does not needs to keep playing to help the Indian team, he can participate in a coach cum player role, and help Pant settle in. Once Pant is settled in few months he should announce his retirement and become the new Indian coach, his expertise will help Indian captain Virat in team selection and other matters. I don’t think there is any good wicket keeper except Pant, and team India should give him some more time before they decide he’s not going to be their leading wicket keeper.

Pant has received way too many chances in my opinion and he is basically a T-20 player. He needs to stick to that format while the Indian team needs to experiment with suitable replacements in ODI and test formats later on.

Also, 99% of the Cricket lovers do not want legends like MSD, Gayle etc retire anytime soon since we want to watch them play for some more time. Besides, Shastri has already been chosen as the head coach once again.

[JohnBitCo]

The sad part is West Indies totally got wasted by Indian players even in that part of the world. West Indies are really in their poor form and Gayle is getting old so are some of the older players that might leave the team soon. West Indies has became another Sri Lanka where there are no capable youngsters to replace the retiring ones.

The gap between the big 3 and the rest of the cricketing world is widening, especially after the decline of South Africa, West Indies, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The only good news is the good form being shown by New Zealand. May be in near future, the big 3 will become big 4. For the other teams, the situation doesn't look very encouraging.

This is just an excuse. Who is stopping the rest of the teams from playing good cricket ? I know that Big 3 (England, Australia, India) has a lot of budget for the cricket and is favored by ICC, but then the others teams can come up with good players and proof they are not less than other players.
A recent example of NewZealand to reach World cup final and give England a tough time is a perfect example that any team can come up , if they are good.

It is not going to be easy. First of all teams such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh doesn't even have a proper domestic structure. In Sri Lanka, the national players are directly selected from the clubs in Colombo and provincial cricket is not that strong. The same with Bangladesh. Dhaka clubs still hold the status of domestic cricket.

I am not sure for the internal structure of the asian teams as I do not live there but who is responsible to change their domestic structure ? You think the Big 3 will come to them and ask them to change their structure ?  These nations have to change their domestic structure themselves and remember srilanka also did win the world cup once and it was not by any accident.  This means THEY CAN DO IT.

Yes. Sri Lanka won the world cup in 1996. But their growth stagnated after that. They have a very limited player pool, as the total population is less than 20 million. On top of that, most of the domestic cricket is concentrated in Colombo. You will find very few domestic players from the Northern province or the Eastern province. SLC is projected to receive $115 million just from the ICC for the 2015-23 period, on top of the sponsorships and TV deals. I don't know why they are using this money to improve the quality of domestic cricket in the island.

Isn't 20 million population is not enough to find only 11 players for the team ?  These are mere excuses. If the cricket board is responsible and players are given good incentives and chosen on merit, I feel no issue why a good team can't be developed.

Also I see that in neighboring countries of srilanka they have T20 domestic series like  IPL, PSL , BPL  and I never knew why srilanka can't start such tournament ? it will help them find new talent and also generate good revenue too.

Already some political issue is happening between the country on the state of Jammu and Kashmir. With the recent political play from India there is some pressure felt between the both. Now someone tries to make use of this as an opportunity to invade. This can be of some terrorist group or can be a planned move from Pakistan. Anyhow this is gonna get Indian cricketers more security.

[Duzter]

What you guys think of the contribution of cricket from India. Now went through the cricket live and saw more cricket matches scheduled for USA, Canada, and few other countries. Going through the players name found most of the players having the names with Indian origin. Not only this, but Kuwait, UAE and few other countries too have large number of Indian players.

These kinds of warnings usually pan out to be bullshit and nothing more. Legit groups never warn anyone and focus on keeping everything a secret and only announce what they have done after the attack itself.

This will probably lead to a bigger problem since the Indian team don't tour Pakistan anymore and I doubt they ever will at any point in the future. The scrapping of Article 370 is the primary factor here.

If players are migrating to other countries just to play cricket because of the competition in India you could say that it is a contribution to world cricket because they have immense talent pool and hence majority are migrating, but most of these players have migrated for a better living and they started playing for clubs and because of their performance got selected into the national team and i am not sure you can call it a contribution  .

Pakistan and Indian both had been an interesting match since start and they made allot of tournaments but both always remain at cross they can never play in a friendly environment both had challenging matches but most of the time Pakistan has beaten India with high score as Pakistani team is stronger because of sarfaraz Ahmad.

20 million looks minuscule when compared to 1,350 million for India, 200 million for Pakistan and 165 million for Bangladesh. Their population is even lower than that of Afghanistan and Nepal. Also, domestic cricket is concentrated in and around Colombo, where the population is only a few millions. And if you remember, they tried the SLPL a few years ago. It flopped and was never tried again.

Sri Lanka getting flopped out of such a try is due to the lack of sponsorship in my view. Maybe a good sponsor same as that of IPL will make SLPL a success one. These days leagues played within the country is creating more good players. Also more countries are getting into the cricket game, which means the competence is getting hard for the future.

If a country needs a good talent pool they need to make some effort in grooming the players at a very young age and if any country is finding it hard to find a good replacement is because of their lack of vision of their sports body, major sponsorship might help young aspects to get attracted in cricket as it will be a viable option to make a career, cricket is a popular sport in Srilanka and all you need to have is a good selection process from the junior level.

As I watching cricket for some long time I checked Sri Lankan biggest problem is Cricket Board they have never been good and prospective as they need many corruption cases and some political issues every time facing by them if they want to do they must start from very low and bring talented guys and then give them some good training this can help them its long term and need some strong administrative like Indian cricket board and Bangladesh board is also doing good work for bringing new talent.

It is a small market like Zimbabwe and West Indies. Don't expect the hundreds of millions that the boards like England and Australia would get from such deals. And SLPL is never going to succeed. There is no cricketing structure outside Colombo. And if they restrict SLPL to Colombo, then it will be just like club cricket and no international player will be interested.
