After R P singh, he needs to have rohit in the team. Also for spin, he needs to have Pragyan and Rahul IN TEAM (to stop t20 binge by angrez at will).
Dhoni can hold back on one of Rohit and rahul till 4th match if he cannot make quick change in team. BUT HE NEEDS TO HAVE THEM ON THE NET. He cannot stop players that INDIA NEEDS just because his friends refuse it. same applies for Srikant.
4 overs of IPL for each bowler dont tire them and dont do any wrong. BCCI can stop later night parties and put single window for commerce for all players. WHAT MORE, BCCI can also do 1 IPL in two years for TEAM A and rest of the time prepare to work for Number 1 program. Hopefully, ICC wont over-schedule to stop Number 1 program for team A. this is where we need TEAM B. Also, TEAM B AND TEAM C of india can play IPL every year. Who knows how much was the Angrez origin coach paid to watch and see zaheer getting fit, unfit and keep quiet. All that Zaheer and rest of players need is 4-5 hours fitness routine, proper diet and massage-sauna-etc, coming back to present day reality, WE NEED 2 spinner, 2 pacers and 3rd swing plus batsmen.
Mishra cannot cut it, we need 2 spinners, those being Pragyan and Rahul (when angrez start hitting T20), 2 pacers ( RP Singh and Ishant ) . 3rd Swing bowlers who can also bat. And batting needs Rohit.
india needs a better selection process. Need to have zonal selection.(not just people who play Ranji Trophy and domestic cricket). There r other people trying to play for india.

Not only that. If "younger Indian batsmen have been found wanting in seaming and bouncy conditions " is given as an excuse, nobody will buy it. There should be a first time for anything. If we lose even with having "experienced" players, we can as well lose with "inexperienced" players. At least, they can make a start. Else, prepare really good pitches here and simulate the overseas conditions as much as possible. Probably play in Himachal or Punjab or wherever in winter and with grassy pitches. Nobody can buy Kris Srik's argument or logic.
Dhoni can never face quality bowling. U have seen number of times struggling against competitive bowling. And giving no reaction whether winning or losing does not mean he is 'So Cool'. If Saurav Ganguly was expressive on the field that doesnot mean he dont have cricketing brain
It has been observed that after the winning world cup our present captain in all the formats is having lithergic approach towards the game his decision in west indies & england are not to that standard for which he was recognised hence it better that he may under go some treatment like dropping from the side
