Cricinfo had cumulative updates of matches last year every day. That idea was very useful to keep updated by browsing a single webpage. Will check if they jave it this year as well.

I dont think he will be back in test team .

The only doubt I have is that Raina has been 'sick' now for a very long time and he could be an ideal replacement.

Even in ODI it is tough for Yuvi to come back in squad. Jaddu, Axar, Raina, Hardik are better options than him now.There was a time when Yuvi was worlds beat odi player but now he struggles even in IPL, both with bat and ball.

Chahal might be happy that Mishra and Yadav are in national duty.
more opportunity to play for Haryana.
probably a good article on how IPL is helping players as well.
