Another good knock for Delhi. If India are sending a weakened team is a recall out of the question?

plus the money loss to BCCI is peanuts compared to the Sponsers and media deals BCCI has for IPL and bilateral games.
so it could afford a loss for one tournament.
ICC got more to lose with a weaken team, than BCCI does.

Robin was nowhere near the class of Dhoni. Robin's keeping is still below average. There are better wicket keepers we have. Dhoni, Saha, Parthiv, Dinesh Karthik. As far as his batting was concerned he was not good in that as well. It in only in IPL and Ranji that he was making runs but his technique was not there. About 3 years back, Pravin Amre, a former India test match player who played few tests, started coaching Robin and then there is improvement and he plays a lot more in the V now than he used to before. Even now we cannot afford Robin as keeper even in ODI or T20. He misses the simplest of stumping and he has not worked on that even though this flaw was noticed even 5 years back.

TBH Uthappa isn't a keeper, he is only keeping because of T20 games, just like Rayudu isn't a keeper either.
I have no idea why Uthappa think he is a keeper though as well, he was always a batsman, it was crazy for him to think he has a chance to replace dhoni and start keeping more for Karnataka.
