Indian Team's Selection for Home Series Against England...

The Team goes as follows:

  • MS Dhoni (captain)
  • Manoj Tiwary
  • Ajinkya Rahane
  • Gautam Gambhir
  • Parthiv Patel
  • Suresh Raina
  • Virat Kohli
  • Ravindra Jadeja
  • R Ashwin
  • Rahul Sharma
  • Varun Aaron
  • Umesh Yadav
  • Praveen Kumar
ASHWIN HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE SQUAD
Well I truly am very impressed by the selectors for selecting such a great team, giving youngsters a chance to prove their worth. Bhajji's exclusion was not a surprise, seeing his recent poor performances. There are more than three players who haven't played a single one dayer. Here inclusion of Ashwin is a boost for the youngster as he didn't get many chances to prove how stupendous player he is.  

Rahane is going through a good phase and he has got runs under his belt both in domestic and international arena. I think Varun Aaron should have been given a chance in England but its good to be late than never, so play him right from the start.
Rahane gets one more chance
Rahul Shrama, came as surprise and according to me, Ojha should have been given a go. 
Nehra has been neglected for first two odi's
The Board has done a foolish thing by not including Nehra in the squad. He is India's premier bowler after Zaheer and he should have been given a chance. Also he declared himself fit and his performances throughout the WC had been good. Another player which I believe should have been played was Iqbal Abdulla. The young lad has been impressive with his bowling.

In all its a good team with many youngsters, but still it could have been much better.
