BCCI know the whole nation is waiting for their inclusion.They also know how dangerous it can be.You know Sourav is in good form.If they are back in the team they might get all the limelight,than dhoni.dhoni will feel inferior.so dhoni has got a plan.and he wantedly opted out of test series.He doesn't want to play alongside experienced players.he has clealry said that to bcci as well.Because these players know what all underground work dhoni had done craftily to  kick the seniors.so,how can dhoni play in the team when the seniors know what he is all about.being guilty he opted out.They are not even included in 30 probables clearly states that bcci are dummy to what dhoni says.Dhoni is the new sports(cricket) minister of India.Dhoni  removed Ganguly and Dravid from the team.MS Dhoni places personal favouritism over the larger interests of the team.First they said performance,then when they satisfied it with good form,they said consistency,sourav was consistent in his batting and started to walk away with man-of-the-match,man of the series awards... and also got castrol award recently.....It all totally irked bcci and dhoni.Now,they have got nothing to do but to show the power of their positions.It's not teams interest but personal favouritism thats why they are doing this.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Isn't it obvious - the selectors have gone MENTAL!!!

Answer 4

Because they are not planning to select these two for Champ. Trophy squad. Then it will not be easy to exclude them from the final-15 if they are included in 30-probables. If that was done, it will more of degradation to them than not selecting them at all, and more flak for BCCI / Selectors. The easy way out was not to select them at all.

If Dravid & Ganguly performs too well in Sri Lanka, that is going to undo all of BCCI's hard work of ignoring Dravid & Ganguly. They will find that there is no place to hide.

Answer 5

I totally agree with One in a million...............they have gone mental..............

Answer 6

Answer 7

The selectors are biased, and don't bother to look at the performance while picking the squad. All this is the part of dirty politics and the foul conspiracy to ruin the careers of 2 most finest batsmen India has ever had-dada Ganguly and Dravid. The selectors are actually controlled by MS Dhoni, who is nothing more than a politician in my opinion.  That's what is wrong with the backboneless and  senseless persons controlling the BCCI, who are devoid of all moral ethics. That's why they keep giving chances after chances to some underachievers, and neglecting the true performers. They haven't come to their senses even after witnessing India's collapse in the Kitply Cup and Asia Cup.

Is this a humiliation to them?--Yes, of course it is. This is the worst and the most bitter insult that Dravid and dada had ever been subjected to. They have done nothing to deserve this humiliation. They should try to score really well in the tests, and then announce their retirement from ODI right in the face of those fools who dared to ignore them. That will be the apt reply because there is absolutely no chance for them to return to the ODi team, no matter how well they perform in tests.

Why are they doing this? Simple, because Dhoni wants them to do so.

Many people are of the opinion that Ganguly and Dravid are too old to play ODIs. Well, Sanath Jaysurya is 39, and still he is an indispensable part of the ODI team. Youth wasn't able to win us the Asia Cup. Youth doesn't win matches, but performance does. The selectors aren't smart enough to realize this fact.

Answer 8

they r to old

Answer 9

Its a very small humiliation. Bigger humiliation for Indians is yet to come when they play the lions
