Above all it is a poor cricketing decision and lousy captaincy.With series wrapped up and the weak Zimb side getting skittled out for around 150 runs repeatedly there was no way inclusion of P/Rasool a national aspirant could have made the side sole reason to lose. It is not question of Kashmir or politics,Virat kohli failed to put himself in Rasool's shoes and view how he would have felt if he were in young Rasool's place having travelled all the way from India.Besides, rest of the 14 players got chance only he was left out.Virat kohli has to learn a lot as a good captain.

Lets do this. Scrap selection committee. Let the team be decided by fans. Whoever gets the most votes will be in. Others will be out. Like in reality show, cricketers will come in and ask for votes!

Therefore it is like colition government. Everyone need to get a chance by turn. With online poll on who should bowl/send it to bat, we can do away with captains also. poll decide who should bowl and should go in to bat!
Better luck next time Rasoolji, apart from cricket you need to learn Indian cricket politics, just try to get used of it.As we understand Kohli's explanation on you still childish.
Bull shit by kohli. Then why the hell was the poor guy selected when he never fitted into team plan. Or, was kohli scared to try a rookie to avoid any mishap to keep a 100% record for the series. Dhoni is dhoni he cherishes taking chances. Kohli showed he still need to be cooked and baked to be a captainship material.

Its a plan of Dhoni & srinivasan. If Rosool is given chance & gets 3-4 wkts then what will happen to other offi Aswin? So not Kohli its a game plan of Dhoni Srinivasan & BBCI

poor dhoni. what will he do? If Dinesh Karthik scores a century and does well behind he stumps, he cannot come in. Right Praloy?
Also, Buvanashwar has no chance with Mohit doing well.

What Ansari has said is correct. Dont blame religion for this. If it had been Dhoni, he would have definitely given the chance to the youngster. Even from people nowhere Dhoni could make them heroes. Even after winning three matches , it is absurd not to give chance to Rasool. Kohli could have rested Jadeja .Kohli wants to prove he is better than Dhoni and earn India's captaincy in hurry. Definitely Kohli will be disaster for India as far as captaincy is concerned/

Even from bowler like Joginder sharma, Dhoni could extract best and could win first 20-20 world , taking a risk. That is Dhoni.

U Know Kohli is a Very arrogant Cricketer.Making statements like this he is giving ample proof of that. I think its gud to have trong bench and with age on hi side Parwez can very well fit into long term scheme for Team india...
it was not important to win the series 5 nil,what was important to provide international exposure to new comers.kohali failed.Rasool do not get disheartened u will get more opportunities to prove your worth and shine.
Pervez Rasool has only just been selected for the Indian team, and now the Indian management is being criticized for not playing him.
The team composition is done after taking many factors into consideration such as wicket condition and so on.
There have been many players who have warmed the bunch for months and later got a chance to play.
Here Rasool, after barely a month and 5 matches in international cricket, is now being lamented on not playing.
This kind of attitude is ridiculous and will do more harm than good in the long run.
It will also put unnecessary pressure on Parvez when he finally comes out to play,as he will feel the spotlight is on him, thereby hampering his free and relaxed play.

This is very sensible post. Some people just need reasons to cry about.
