It's a shame for Indian cricket that a cricketer of Abhijit Kale's class whose record in first-class cricket is some 7000 runs, 24 centuries, avg of about 50 in 84 matches. The first chance that they gave him was at the age of 30, that too against Bangladesh. If Kale had played his first-class cricket for Mumbai or Karnataka or Delhi he would have been included in the Indian team long long back. A great example of this is Sachin Tendulkar's inclusion in the Indian team at the age of 16, when all he had achieved till that time was a triple century in some school cricket match and a century against a poor Gujarat team in Ranji trophy.

He should come clean on this matter so also the Board and its Officials who sat as Prosecutors, Judge, Jury and Executioners and E
