India World Cup Squad 2019: 3 Bold decisions selectors could've made

2. Pick an extra pacer instead of extra spinner

Over the past few years, England has turned out to be a graveyard for finger spinners. In such a case, the selection of Ravindra Jadeja seems highly unjustified. His form in IPL 2019 has witnessed the height of ups-and-downs. He balls with higher speed than a usual spinner. As it is highly improbable that his deliveries would spin on the flat English decks, the ball will be coming on to bat nicely, making him ineffective.

An extra pacer in the form of Deepak Chahar or Navdeep Saini would have been a better option. Being raw talents, they could have been a surprise element. Navdeep can trouble any batsman with his 150+ speed, whereas Deepak Chahar can prove to be deadly with his swinging deliveries. They could have been the 4th pacer in the squad and that would’ve allowed the team management to think differently if overcast conditions occur during the tournament.
