Including Dhanaraj Pillay

Dhanraj Pillay is one of the best from this sport of Hockey available today. Rajinder singh and Gill have already done a lot of damage to the Indian Hockey by excluding him from the team so far. It's a matter of satisfaction that finally better sense dawned on them.
I think instead of Pillay, Rajinder singh be fired as he does a lot of politics and somebody from Germany, Holland or Australia should be given a chance. As we all know John Wright has delivered best results for the Indian Cricket Team, I don't see any reason why a foreign coach can't do the same for the Indian Hockey.

Hockey

In cricket there was a time when the Bombay-Baroda click was working.It was very difficult for a cricketeer outside Bombay or Baroda to get selected.The cricket in those days used to be in dooldrums.Then things changed & what a transformation to cricket.
In hockey still the Punjabi click is working. What is the police officer doing in hockey? Is hockey a policing job? When Dravid or Ganguly or a footballer can address a press and answer questions from press why this taboo on the Hockey captain & punishment for him? Is it that only a sardarji can address the press/. It is high time that the new minister of sports set these thing right. I am sure that Pillai will not be played in the games, he is selected for probables to molify the criticism.
