Five weaknesses of Team India that could be exposed on overseas tours

Inexperienced spinners

India may require the services of Ashwin and Jadeja in the 2019 World Cup

The duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have performed splendidly in the current series but they lack the experience of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, especially in overseas conditions. The experienced duo has performed better in England than anywhere else in the world.

Ashwin has picked up 22 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 30 and an economy rate of 4.9 in England. Jadeja, meanwhile, has scalped 27 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 27. Ashwin and Jadeja have a pretty good record in England and overlooking them could prove to be a costly mistake.

The selectors have stood by their decision of not playing Ashwin and Jadeja in the current series, stating that the duo needs rest, but Ashwin is currently playing county cricket in England. This is a clear indication of the fact that the selectors aren't happy with his performances.

While Ashwin and Jadeja have struggled in the shorter formats recently, they have the talent to bounce back and should be brought back into the team once they regain their form.

Kohli has set a 1-1-1 target where he wants his team to become number 1 in all formats. The real test for Team India starts from the South African tour next year and course correction now would stand them in good stead for the forthcoming series and the 2019 World Cup.
