He has got experience back in the ndian team, i.e. Sourav, Laxman etc. He has decide that Chappel should not have selection rights. Removing Sehwag from Vice captaincy was a good decision. He is a very good selector.

By all means,Zaheer Khan should be back in the Indian team.The squad should be as follows \n\nOne-Dayers:\nSehwag[vice-captain],Sachin,Dravid[captain],Ganguly,Yuvraj,Kaif,Dhoni,Kumble,Harbhajan,Pathan,Zaheer,Sreesanth,Aashish Nehra,Munaf,Raina,Lakshman.\nThe above squad can be retained for the tests also.\n\nIt is unfair deal for Ganguly,Lakshman & Kumble.They should not have been dropped for the one-day squad in the recent past.Ganguly is a world class player & has a enviable record in the one-dayer,he is only next to Sachin considering the no of centuries in the one dayers.Laksman's performance was great in the one dayers.The selectors should feel ashamed to drop the player like Kumble[hope everyone know the reason].I also feel bad for Zaheer Khan who has lost his place in both the forms of the game.He was a wonderful strike bowler with Pathan,has played an excellent role in the Ranji matches in India in the recent past & is playing very well for the English county Worcestershire.I want Agarkar & Powar to be not just removed but kicked out of the Indian squad & Zaheer & Kumble can take their places.The above squad should be retained for all the matches[away & home] till the players retire. \n      By considering all these,I feel very bad for the selectors who have & will be selecting the Indian team.

Yes Sourav should be included. It was a delibrate decision to end his career. They dont want him in the team. Who the hell are they to play with the career of a great crcketer who successfully served the country for such a long time. This time there was every chance to accomodate him in the team since Yuvraj was back with injury. Even he spoke for Ganguly last day. But they always find enough reasons to exclude him. They fear him. I challange you Chappel and More, if you are in true spirit, give him one chance..a single chance..I bet he will literally strip you and your decisions. But they dont dare to challange. That y they wont allow a single chance to hold his bat. \n\nDravid was praised about the 'courageous' act to open the first test in Pakistan. They dared to send Ganguly as an opener, just because they knew he can score a big one in a flat track. This is really bad. This is no sports...no spirit... This is the worst politics i ever witnessed in Indian cricket. \n\nDear Mr. Chappel, you try out every possible ways to close him..But he will get that chance..not to prove(he already proved) but to blast you. Mind you, Sourav is a fighter..He won't stop his career like this. I think u messed up with the wrong person.

It is POLITICS.\n\n\nYES HE SHOULD PLAY.\n\nBUT THAT WILL NOT SOLVE ALL THE PROBLES.\n\nWhat then?\n\nPRESENT LOT be REMOVED. S/SHRI\nBCCI-PAWAR\nSELECTOR-VENSARKAR\nCOACH-CHEPPAL\nCAPTAIN-DRAVID, SEWAG\nTHE WHOLE TEAM.\n\nA fresh selection is made after deciding criteria for selection for each post. For example DRAVID WILL MAKE 10 - 63 RUNS IN 108 BALLS, It is equivalent to 30 - 160 runs in 50 overs. Such negative play to be retained in the team can make individual statistics good, BUT INDIA CAN NEVER WIN. \n\nSUNIL G. also did same thing.\n\nThey are good for test but not for ODI.\n\nIn the selection criteria shall ensure that these negative factors are taken in account.\n\nSECONDLY,\n\nIf team does not win,\nchange 2 b,man, 2 blrs, 1 all rndr, 1 wickt kpr ( if did not do well).\n\nIf team does not win series,\n\nREMOVE\n\nBCCI-PAWAR, \nSELECTOR-VENSKR\nCOACH-CEPAL\nCAPTAIN-DRVD, SWG\nTHE WHOLE TEAM\n\nMake again a fresh selection.\n\nINDIA IS FULL WITH TALENT BUT POLITICS AND REGIONALISM HAS MADE IT A ROT.\n\nPl come out of POLITICS and REGIONALISM.\nGive chance to the BEST CAPABLE, RESPONSIBLE INDIAN.\n\n\nI AM SURE INDIA WILL WIN AGAINST ANY TEAM IN THE WORLD.\n\nIs it ok?\n\nSURELY.

INDIA IS A LARGE POPULATED NATION.\nHUGE AMOUNT OF TALENT HIDING IN HER VILLAGES.\nA HONEST, PATRIOTIC, SELFISHLESS SELECTOR BOARD TO BE SET FIRST.\nTHEY SHOULD FIND THE SKILLFUL KIDS AND TRAIN THEM WELL.\nLATER, \nTHE SELECTORS SHOULD CATAGORIZE THEM.\nMORE MATCHES MUST BE CONDUCTED WITH-IN THE BOYS.\nAGAIN AND AGAIN.\nFINALLY WE WILL GET ATLEAST 100  GOOD CRICKETERS IN OUR HAND.\nTHEY CAN BE DIVIDED AS 5 TEAMS.\nTHE TEAMS SHALL VISIT ALL CRICKET NATIONS AND PLAY IN FIRST CLASS LEVELS.\nTHE BOYS WILL GET GOOD EXPERIENCE.\nTHE SELECTORS SHOULD HAND-OVER THE GEMS TO BCCI AND START ANOTHER PROJECT.\nTHE BCCI MUST PICK THE BEST OF THE LOT AND MAKE THEM PLAY.\n\nTHIS ONLY WILL DO.\n\nALL WC'S WILL BE DUMPED IN INDIA.\n\nBUT..\nWHO CARES...!

It seems Zonal tag has gone in favour of Jaffer. In my opinion the first choice should have been Gambhir, second Laxman and third Uttappa. It is altogether unfair to Gambhir.\n\nVengersarkar has cast a slur on his image as a "Colonel". He has been a very respected personality till now.

You should get first prize in criticizing some one like Dravid who is so humble. He has given his entire life for Indian Cricket.No one is obsessed with him. Cricket lovers adore him.

Yes, 100% politics... When Dalmiya was supreme power of BCCI, the east zone gets importance and the team was in pocket of Ganguly.. But now When Sharad pawar is Supreme, the west zone is having its say in almost every aspect of BCCI... Their players are getting into the team.. Mr. Kiran More is having sum unfinished business wd Ganguly and he is the main reason behind ganguly not Selected.. Kiran more we all know how gud player he was.... and i feel should not even be in selection committee.. but unfortunately he is the chairman of selection committee.... badluck for indian cricket.... the greatest ever captain of india doesn't deserve this kind of treat at this stage of his career....\n\nI hope that ganguly be back in team and plays sum extra good cricket for india to shut Kiran More's Mouth......

quota policy sucks. Arjun singh is man with one leg in graveyard.This ministers send their own sons to foreign universities and tamper with Indian education. What does Arjun Singh know about hardwork for getting into to IIM & IIT.If he is so much hell bent on implementing constitution then he must also know that reservation was suppose to be time bound when it was first introoduced, but today it has becom a political gimmick. Arjun Singh is not Human resource Development minister[HRD] but Human Resource Demolisher{hrd} minister.God save us from him.

When Ganguly was last selected in the test team he was supported 3-2 by the 5 national selectors.  Since then the three selectors who voted for him have been replaced by the new head of the BCCI.  You decide for yourself whether he is the victim of politics.  He did not do himself any favours with indifferent form and his poor reaction to comments from Chappell.

Well there's obviously some bias here.\n\nSo far 20 out of 25 people have picked India, with 3 maybes and 2 nos.\n\nSo does this mean we should all go down and put our hard earned money on them.  I don't see how you can be so confident.\n\nYou gotta win the World Cup, it's not just given to you.\n\nYou need to have the players to do it.  Having some good players will win you some games but not the whole tournament.\n\nWhat makes all of you think you can get past Australia, Sth Africa or even England.  \n\nHow about batting lets see the latest rankings.\n1   Adam Gilchrist  AUS   \n2   Mahendra Dhoni  IND   \n3   Ricky Ponting  AUS   \n4   Andrew Symonds  AUS   \n5   Mike Hussey  AUS  \n\nOuch - 4 out of the top 5 - in the World.\n\nBowling\n\n1  Shaun Pollock  SA  858  \n2  Irfan Pathan  IND  765  \n3  Shane Bond  NZ  762  \n4  Glenn McGrath  AUS  756  \n5  Daniel Vettori  NZ  750  \n6  Brett Lee  AUS  732  \n7  Nathan Bracken  AUS  723  \n8  Muttiah Muralitharan  SL  701  \n9  Chaminda Vaas  SL  693  \n10  Harbhajan Singh  IND  690  \n\nNot many Indians here either.\n\nIndia winning the world cup is Wishful thinking.

I once admired Dravid both as a player and as a celebrated peronality. He is a good captain also. But now what is is happening? He was not able to make things in his way. Y he is surrendering everything to the coach. Our Indian coach is eager in making only news. He is not successful in his experiments. Then y cant some body tell him stop experimenting with the Team. No body opens mouth, fearing that he wont give place in the team in the next selection, even the captain. Its more or like a idiot head master with weird ideas leading a bunch of scared students with out the oppurtunity to express. Because of this only India is not playing as a team now a days. Atleast Mr.Dravid you can speak your ideas...

I ACCEPT NICK'S..\nAJIT IS NOT PERFORMING..\nBUT HIS NATIVITY-BOMBAY EQUIPS HIM TO INCLUDE IN SQUAD.\nMUMBAI PLAYERS HAVE GOD FATHERS..\nDID YOU EVER SEE HE FEELS BAD AFTER HIS BOWLING HIT BY A SIX..?\nHE NEVER HESITATE EVEN A SECOND AND GOING BACK TO HIS START-UP.\nHE KNOW THAT..HOWEVER THE GOD FATHER ADD HIM INTO ANOTHER MATCH..!

I don't agree with this policy.I believe it's unjust to meritorious students.Instead I feel backward caste students should be provided training so that they can compete with other students.This is better than spoon-feeeding them by providing quotas.

Goodbye Ganguly \n\nas India selectors vote for youth\n\nNEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's selectors turned the page on Saurav Ganguly's international career on Thursday when they banked on youth for the first test against England, with an eye on next year's World Cup and beyond
