a country that boasts of 1 billion plus population, alongwith the richest cricket board can't find 11 good players to play this game.
Imagine what if SA, Eng or Aus had this luxury ???
This proves that stamina, fitness, talent and enthusiasm cannot be purchased with money. its something u need to have in ur genes, which Indians lack......
BTW, how India won the WC in 2011 without any bowlers is still a mystery........ that would always remain unsolved....

I billion means what? Does all 1 billion peopl ein india play cricket. Almost half population is female. PLease check your figures first.....from this remaining half million ho wmany are in playing age (8-35 years). From this playing age atleast 40 % struggle to get food for them, and you are expecting him to buy the equipment for on eof the costliest game. Yo have to see what is th esports population of India. It is less than USA, Australia etc. Please everyone stop using this phrase 1 billion. If you are a parent.. are you ready to allow your son to play cricket and leave his medical or engeenring studies asied

stop joking.cricket players only selected from upper cast.see the history of indian cricket.not from 1 billion .from 1 million.
Whether all agree or not, RAHUL DRAVID and VVS LAXMAN are getting missed by a big proportion. Can they be replaced in terms of match "winning" and match "saving" knocks?

selfless players like Dravid and Laxman will be very difficult (if not impossible) to replace in an era where players r more interested in ads, T20's, movies and personal records......

kohli can still be given the benefit of doubt, bcoz he is young and has the skills to play test cricket.
it would be too early to sack him. I think he needs to be given atleast 2-3 more series to finally decide if he is fit or not.
the rest in your list can leave and if they don't they should be sacked....
