While the obvious has happened, there will be a few who will have a few things to say here & there. Though I feel Yousuf Pathan is just a little unlucky to miss out, Yuvraj Singh should take this break as an opportunity to fine tune himself. The Punjab lad has been a little off colour since the IPL & I feel this break would do him good. Pathan Senoir has not got enough opportunities at 7, though he palyed a good hand coming in at 4.
The interesting selection is that of Jharkhand rookie Saurabh Tiwary. I feel the selection comittee has done the right thing in selecting the gutsy cricketer. Apart from being a good striker & a very capable fielder, he is also a good runner between the wickets. Apart from the mental adjustment, the young lad also has to get acclimitized to the hot & humid climes of Sri Lanka from the much cooler climes of England, where is playing the A series. India have a very hectic schedule ahead & these young cricketers would a world of good to their careers if they put of decent show.
Though the Zim soujourn has almost ended for India, apart from the two T20 Internationals, I must say the way the Zimbabwe team has performed is indeed noteworthy. The Taylors & Masakadzas have shown a lot of spunk in their ability & this can only take Zimbabwe Cricket forward.
With the Asia Cup barely 6 days away, the regulars in the Indian camp have got the desired rest & would be raring to have a go & bring home the coveted cup!
