This India team with so many pretenders like Binny, Jadeja, Ashwin , Raina etc... is a big joke. Binny's father seems to have done enough to get his son into the side. All of Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings folks seemed to have found places. This team is ripe to get beaten in the league stage itself. Hopefully, this team spares its fans the blushes and gets beaten early on. So that some good cricket can be watched.

For a 6.5 crore per annum pay packet, I'd have praised the BCCI selection too!

i dont think Binny's selection was a bad choice. He is proving good in seaming conditions even in Ranjitrophy. We really require one or two alrounders in the side so that one extrabatsman or extra bowlder can be included if needed

Binny is of club class bowler...he may not get a chance to play, in case if he gets to play then he will be clubbed all over the field...his bowling figure will be 4-0-50-0
we would be knocked out in the league stage itself ... don't make any recommendation on the basis of doin their delivery stride the spinners spin more than their deliveries, no all-rounder, Binny is lucky to get a foreign tour for his well-wishers in the selection committee....we have no bowlers, just no bowlers, select all eleven batsmen in the Team, we have good bastmen, they could chase upto 8 runs in an over....
does anybody feel Ashish Nehra could have been taken in place of Umesh Yadav.He has the natural advantages of left arm fast bowler, lending variety and probably he bowls yorkers best among all our fast bowlers.

Binny is such example. Will the selectors get punished if india perform badly with such poor players
It must have been hard on Yuvraj, who was the man-of-the-series in the last World Cup but form is such an important thing. But he is just 33-34 years old. Looking back at his experiences with the team earlier, he must be motivated to try and make a comeback.

After seeing the team I have drawn a few personal opinion. 1. Poor team 2. Good players like Yuvaraj Singh, Robin Uthappa, Surya Kumar Yadav have been ignored instead only players of political influence are selected. 3. India will find it hard to reach even Quarter finals /Semifinals. 4. A few of the players will get injured in coming tri-nation tour and Yuvraj/Robin will be there in world cup.Sandeep patil...you were a good player but a very bad selector
