Asia Cup Team Selection

Over the years, we have seen that once considered favorite players are being axed the next day and this time, too we have seen the same formula being employed....

Players who are axed from the much favoritism are Yuvaraj Singh, Ishant Sharma, Yusuf Pathan...

While I clearly agree with the axing of Yuvaraj and Yusuf Pathan, what I am perplexed is the repeated omission of Irfan Pathan from its ranks. He is only one allrounder India possesses as of date and instead of grooming, we are good at repeatedly ignoring him. Ashok Dinda must consider himself lucky to be in the team and instead I would have opted for a much experience in terms of Ishant Sharma.

Jadeja is only a utility player and cannot be considered as an allrounder. We will surely miss Irfan Pathan as an allrounder.

Batting looks very good and is full of youth and the fielding will really be a welcome sign for us to view, what with Raina, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma added to the fold.

Overall the team looks much balanced. Now it is for the Touring Management and the players to make it a winning habit and try retain the World No.2 ranking.

All the Best, Dhoni and Company
