The Indian cricket selectors have done Indian cricket a huge disservice again as is their wont by selecting a team that is neither here nor there for the forthcoming brief tour of the emerald isles of Sri Lanka and thereby missed out on a great opportunity to blood some new talent and test the mettle of the up and coming youngsters........
Virat Kohli would have been my choice as captain for the fortnight long tour and Suresh Raina would have served as his deputy and Rayudu would have donned the keeping gloves as I for one have always felt that he did a more than decent job behind the stumps for the Mumbai Indians franchise whenever accorded the opportunity anf let's face facts, he has been Mumbai Indians best batsman by far over the last couple of seasons of the IPL; and Varun Aaron and Umesh Yadav are certainly the future as the fast bowling attack is concerned so why are they not being provided with the opportunities that they so richly deserve??? only the so called five wise(?) men of Indian cricket can answer that one..........
I for one, would have rested Messrs Sehwag, Gambhir, Dhoni, Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar and given an opportunity to Messrs Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Ambati Rayudu, Varun Aaron and Umesh Yadav instead of the afore mentioned stalwarts thereby giving them one more opportunity of proving their worth and making a concerted effort towards filling some really large boots that have served the cause of Indian cricket with distinction for the last decade and more.........
