Ravindra Jadega or Prgyan Oza or even some other player should be there.

In the recently concluded team, Pragyan Oza has played good role in the absence of Harbhajan. He was quite useful bowler.
However, if Harbhajan is available for the team, then what do you think: should Ravaindra Jadeja be prefered to Prgyan Oza?
In this series, Oza played first four matches and Jadeja played one last match. But Jadeja has shown the temperament as a bastman. He has the ability to bowl few overs as a spiner and additionally he is much better fielder than Oza.

The team selection always depends on factors such as pitch and the weather..
I feel jadeja played a some good shots in his sixty runs yesterday.. As far his bowling he is just 19 years old,he has scope for improvement.. If the pitch is assisting spin then absolutely ojha should play.. Or if the pitch is a batting paradise then jadeja can play..

Pragyan Ojha has certainly made a strong claim to the test squad. He achieved success in pitches where Murali & mendis struggled. It is left to be seen if the selectors have the courage to dump Harbhajan & select ojha ahead of him. Bhajji does not seem to improving with experience & ojha has grabbed this opportunity with both hands.
Jadeja did not impress with the ball & dropped a catch too. even though he got a fifty it was too slow under the circumstances. May be 20-20 suits him better.

Ravindra Jadeja is a utility player unlike Ohja.Indian batting strength is great that Ohja will be the automatic choice if Harbhajan is out.Ravindra Jadeja comes in only if Yousuf Pathan doesn't play well.Just because of that great Indian batting line up , Ravindra Jadeja did not get a chance to play in the first four matches.He was played just to come to terms of internation cricket as India had already pocketed the trophy.
