for Raina. See if Yuvi has it in him for tests.
If Yuvi fails in the series, opt him out of future tests ( like what was done to Vijay ).

Buck up Dhoni XI

Sehwag prefferred IPL over India duty. He could not tour WI and is out of Eng tour for three tests. All this for money over pride of playing for India. Had he opted for surgery instead of IPL he would have toured WI and got match practice. This team does not have commitmment to play for India. Money is thier prioroty.

You can't criticize individuals like this. The whole concept of IPL has to be blamed. IPL will always be a burden to international cricket. With IPL being considered as an Indian League, there is no problem if some players get affected by this and in turn that affects their place in national team. If people (Indians) are so much against IPL, they must boycott it and make it a super flop.

Just take a case of yourself... If you are offered a Central Govt. Job with a salary of 20k and a MNC Job with a salary of 80k which one will you prefer? (Of course Govt. Job is like serving country and MNC Job is serving corporates regardless of countries) If you are in the Govt. Job of course you can tell that I'm patriotic and Govt. Servant. If that's your option so be it... Leave the option to players...

Everyone was eager to participate in the International World Cup... Nobody wanted to miss it out... That's enough for patriotism.

Oye Hawladar,

If you offer Govt job with INR 20K and private job with 80K obviously one will take govt job. Because opportunity Fringe benefit is more in Govt job. I hope you got my point.
