Harbhajan still out from Indian Test squad against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 – Cricket News Update
Indian spin maestro, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 on November 6, 2011.
However, what comes as more of a surprise is that ‘Bhajji’ still stays out from the Men in Blue roster, while 5 uncapped players have been announced to feature for India in their upcoming home assignment, including 25-year-old off-break bowler, Ravichandran
Ashwin, who comes in to replace Harbhajan.
For the matter, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Chief Selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-Andrew-Gwynne-Fletcher-c54742 as well as team Captain, Mahendra Singh
Dhoni, and that each player was taken into consideration.
The official also added that with the young lot already delivering an exceptional performance during the team’s just concluded home-series against the English tourists, the youth will surely shine out again for India when they take on the Caribbean visitors.
“We’ve taken everybody into consideration. We had a detailed discussion with captain and coach. We had a healthy discussion,” Srikkanth said in Kolkata.
“We have the best team. We had to look at building the side from a future perspective also. You have seen the results yourself. When we gave opportunity to the youngsters, they won a series 5-0,” the BCCI senior added.
However, when asked about Harbhajan’s continuous omission from the national squad, Srikkanth came out with a rather curtailed response, stating “These are selection-related issues. We cannot discuss these matters here. These are internal matters of the selection
committee.”
During http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, Harbhajan had to bid an early farewell to the side, after suffering an abdominal injury during the opening Test stint of the tour.
Although the spin genius did make his appearance on the recent Champions League Twenty20 tournament, where he captained the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians squad; but for the national team’s just concluded series against the Poms, Harbhajan was once again left out from the
line-up.
It may still be unclear as to when Bhajji will be seen on the team, but for the side’s upcoming Test match against West Indies, here is a look into the complete squad which will feature on the series opener.
