Wasim Jaffer, a former Indian cricketer, believes that one of Team India’s biggest problems has been having to choose from such a small pool of talent.
Because there was a lot of chopping and shifting in the team leading up to the T20 World Cup last year, their first-choice XI didn’t get much cricket together.

Wasim Jafferbelieves that having a smaller pool of available players will assist to reduce uncertainty and that each player will have a clearer understanding of his or her place in relation to the overall scheme.
Wasim Jaffer discussed experimenting with bench strength with ESPNCricinfo prior to India’s third one-day international against Sri Lanka.

“I believe India has more than 15-20 players who can play in the World Cup. The main problem arises when they have to pick an XI from the pool of 20-25 players. So it’s always less confusing to have a smaller pool of players to select from.”
“I don’t think that they should make any changes”: Wasim Jaffer
Wasim Jaffer does not want the hosts to make any adjustments for the final ODI in Thiruvananthapuram, despite the fact that India has an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series.
The former cricketer believes it’s critical for the team’s established core to play as many games as they can together leading up to the ODI World Cup later this year.
“I don’t believe they should make any changes. This team requires consistency, especially since it is a World Cup year. You want this group of players to play together in the remaining 15-18 ODIs. You have Arshdeep, Ishan, and Washington as alternatives, but I don’t see any changes happening unless someone niggle.”
On Sunday, January 15, they’ll be back in play in Thiruvananthapuram. Sri Lanka will try to regain some of its lost glory as the Men in Blue will want to score a whitewash.
