Hey, though it is nice to note the victory of team india in the tri-series at Australia, on the other hand it is much constrained to note that we are quitting the seniors Ganguly(dada), Dravid. They are still dynamic no doubt and I feel they should be called again to play onedayers as old is gold. Even Pat Simcox of south africa played one day international at the age of 50 save india's little master sunil manohar Gavaskar. Is it not correct.

yes they should be called for test matches but for one day i think only on should be included among them

i also believe taht seniors should not be just left like this. they are great players and their experience really matters. It was a great part from sachin for this australian victory.

There should be a rotation policy. Say for example call in Ganguly and give rest to Gambhir. Doing this provides enough rest for the players and we can constantly keep getting in new blood and lot of domestic players ambitions also come true. Having two different teams for test and one-day isnt a good move. this is very true when india is touring countries where there are bouncy pitches and it takes time for players to settle down to the local conditions. So although we may loose one format, there is little chance we would loose other if we play with the same team.

Hello,gorajan! In my opinion the BCCI should select two separate teams,one for the ODIs and the other for the test series as was selected during the Australia tour.the senior players may play in the test matches but in ODIs the youngsters should be given priority.so that the youngsters will get enough scope to play for India.if not time will come there will be dearth of new blood in the cricket.thank you.

i do not think it would be wise to call back seniors to one day since youngsters are doing well.in test they are ok.but in onedayers we need energy and enthusiasm i think most of our seniors lack that.Team is doing well under dhoni so let them carry on.

It will be better to pick the youngsters than the senior members, to perform well in the international match particularly in the one matches. Which doesnt mean that we need to skip the experienced campaigners.
