India should play the batsmen who are in form, says Javagal Srinath – Cricket News Update
Former Indian fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Javagal-Srinath-c66513 believes that the Indian team should not rotate the in-form players, because the team comes before anything else and has also issues a warning shot to the Indian selectors by saying that the senior players should
not be dropped at once.

However, the Indian team is performing well in the tri-nation series, which includes Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. The team management has followed a rotation policy in the tri-nation series so far, resting some of the senior players, and playing others.
Cricket analysts believe that the Indian team is looking for consistency and Srinath added that the in-form batsman should be dropped under any circumstances. He added that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 should open the innings in all matches, as his run scoring is good
in the tournament. The former fast bowler also said that Dhoni should rest the out of form players.
Srinath said, "Rotation is a good thing, but it should not happen at the cost of the team's interest. If someone is performing well, like Gautam Gambhir, give him a longer run. If someone is struggling, drop him for more than one game. It should not be written
in stone but be flexible."
Comment on senior batsmen like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, Srinath is of the opinion that the selectors should allow the players of their stature to make a decision regarding their future. Having served the Indian team with honour over the last decade or
so warrants such respect.
"Transition should happen at the right time. It's up to the national selectors to take a call on these players. It takes a lot to go out of the team. If you think that you have reached the high of your game, then you'll have the satisfaction (of retiring),"
former Indian fast bowler added.
