Dear Rediff, Please desist from writing headlines which are not factualy correct.
The first kashmiri to in the Indian team ws Vivek Razdan and Second is Suresh Raina.
Abid Nabi, will be the first one who playes for Jammu and Kashmir, or else if you mean to imply that Kashmiri Pandits are not Kashmiri's, then thats a different issue.
Infact you won't be different from all the Politicians of India who have systematically denied existence of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir Dispute.
An Inspirational story ! Hope this lad does himself,his family,his coach,his state and his Nation proud by consistently performing and by challenging the notion that India cannot produce quality express bowlers. Way to go Kid !!!
Get that lad on to the Indian team, Sure thing is our promise to the future cricket and threat to the other cricketing countries. It takes heart and courage to say that he can try and bowl faster then Lee or Rawalpindi Express.
