Laxman never had a chance and Dravid’s exclusion was expected. However Ganguly’s exclusion has come as a nasty surprise. My dear friend Niranjan has come out with a silly inflammatory statement as usual.
Now to the crux of the issue, have the selectors chosen the best possible ODI squad?
I would say, no and then yes.
No, because we have excluded Ganguly and saddled with a Yuvraj who has a game leg. Yes, because they have done a good job keeping an eye on the future.
There is one other reason, purely emotional, for my ambivalence. I feel it would be churlish to deny all those wonderful young men who won us the T20 World Cup.
Would you say that my emotional reasoning is justified?
