Droped or Rested - Sachin and Ganguly

Few of big guns are not in team for Bangaladesh cricket tour like Sachin Tendulkar and Ganguly. Our chief Cricket Selector Mr.Vengsarkar told reporters that "I had talked with them and only after they agree we Rested them".

Ha ha ha .... Is that mean that team was selected after consulting the "Seniors" of Indian Cricket. Come on Mr.Selector, be brave say "Yes we dropped them because of their performance".

On this issue our Kapil Dev shared his toughts to a TV channel "yes they are droped not rested", and he is experience enough to say that. Then why cant our selectors say the straight statement. Are they too under the "Dadagiri" of Senior Cricket players?

Still confused but do Cricket Players over Cricket in India? many events in past and present cement this.

Once again all the best to our Cricket Team for upcoming Bangaladesh Tour ( huh... we need wishes to win, even in Bangladesh)

New Indian Players-Manoj and Pawar

Manoj Tiwari

Manoj Tiwary symbolises Bengal's new brand of cricket, one built on youth and fearlessness. Within two years of first-class cricket, he has become the most talked-about name outside the Indian team, a refreshing fact in this day and age when it's largely international players and Under-19 stars who get most of the attention. Tiwary has a minimalistic approach towards batting; bowlers are meant to be hit, and the purpose of batting anywhere is to make runs. He goes about doing that in the most aggressive of manners. He has idolised Kevin Pietersen, evident through his mannerism on the field, and favours the front foot more.
After being shunted up and down in his first full season in 2005-06, he got a more certain No. 4 position in the next season and made it his own. He scored three scores of 150-plus and his average of 99.50 took his overall first-class average to 57.50. At 21, he has already led Bengal to a Cooch Behar Trophy triumph, and was also asked to captain the state in the Twenty20 championships, despite the presence of Deep Dasgupta and Sourav Ganguly. An aggressive and passionate Bengal cricketing fraternity has already nicknamed him chota dada (in reference to Ganguly's nickname, dada) and, on the back of India's World Cup debacle.

Rajesh Pawar

(born September 6, 1979), in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is an Indian cricketer plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket. He is a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and a handy left-handed batsman. Pawar has taken over 200 first-class wickets and has achieved a highest score with the bat of 95 not out. In January 2007 he was named in India's 30-man preliminary squad for the World Cup and despite not making the final 15

I wish them all the best and hope they do well.

Tendulkar and Ganguly rested for Bangladesh one-dayers

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly have been rested from India's one-day squad to Bangladesh while Virender Sehwag hasn't found a place in the Test squad. In a two-hour selection meeting at the Cricket Centre offices of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the national selection committee found place for two new faces in Manoj Tiwary (ODIs) and Rajesh Pawar (Tests) while Dinesh Mongia, RP Singh, Gautam Gambhir and Piyush Chawla earned recalls.
Dilip Vengsarkar, the chairman of selectors, said Tendulkar and Ganguly had been "rested" given the hectic schedule ahead for India, who play approximately 45 ODIs in the coming year. Vengsarkar also clarified that Harbhajan Singh, Ajit Agarkar and Irfan Pathan, who did not find places in either squad, had been "dropped."
Interestingly, no vice-captain was named for either squad, and it was announced that it would be up to the tour management committee, comprising captain, cricket manager and coaches, to nominate a vice-captain as and when the need arose. It's understood that Yuvraj Singh would have been a shoo-in for the job but, in the light of his recent slap on the wrists from the board for comments made in the media, and the fact that he is not always a certainty for the Test eleven, it was thought best not to name him vice-captain. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's name also came up for discussion for the job but, in the end, the selectors decided it was best left to the team management.
In another crucial move there was no place for Virender Sehwag in the Test side and, despite certain selectors wanting Gautam Gambhir in his place, it was decided that this would not be the best long-term solution. Therefore Dinesh Karthik will open for the two-Test series against Bangladesh along with Wasim Jaffer. Karthik opened the batting in the last Test India played, making a half-century and sharing a 150-plus partnership with Jaffer. Karthik filling the role in the short term could well mean that Sehwag could make his way back into the Test side for the England tour.
Rajesh Pawar, the 27-year-old left-arm spinner from Baroda, was the only new face in the Test squad while Ramesh Powar and VRV Singh made a return. Pawar has had a good domestic season for Baroda after moving from Mumbai, picking up 36 wickets at under 25 apiece.
The selectors also decided that five extra bowlers would attend the camp in Kolkata. Pankaj Singh, Vijaykumar Yomahesh, Ishant Sharma, Ranadeb Bose, all mediumpacers, and Pragyan Ojha, the young Hyderabad left-arm spinner, will train with the Indian team, although they will not be in contention for places on the Bangladesh tour.
ODI squad: Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid (capt), Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Manoj Tiwary, Dinesh Mongia, Piyush Chawla, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh.
Test squad: Wasim Jaffer, Dinesh Karthik, Rahul Dravid (capt), VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Anil Kumble, Sreesanth, Zaheer Khan, VRV Singh, Ramesh Powar, Rajesh Pawar, Munaf Patel.
