Indian Team declaredWell the cat is out amongst the pigeons. It did create a little flutter when Sachin and Ganguly were dropped from ODI and Virender Sehwag from Tests in Bangladesh. Harbhajan and Irfan Pathan were dropped from both forms of cricket. Test squad: Wasim Jaffer, Dinesh Karthik, Rahul Dravid (capt), VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Anil Kumble, Sreesanth, Zaheer Khan, VRV Singh, Ramesh Powar, Rajesh Pawar, Munaf Patel. ODI squad: Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid (capt), Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Manoj Tiwary, Dinesh Mongia, Piyush Chawla, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh. We can debate endlessly about the possible combinations. However, Irfan Pathan's exclusion after a dressing room series (World Cup) is not exciting. We also need to get confidence into a person whom we expect to be possibly our next and only all rounder after Kapil Dev. Recalling VVS Laxman was probably a very creative idea, but the ODI team could have done with Mohammad Kaif. We cannot recall anyone who can match the agility of Australia on the field except for Kaif or Yuvraj Singh. Kaif would be an exciting prospect even for Twenty20.
