Because of thier busy schedule and we dont want to repeat srinath issue
I think India need two seperate teams. Since Sachin is the only world class
player he can be in both teams. My selection for these teams....

ODI                                  TESTS
 jadega                              laxman
 sachin (c)                          siddhu
 dravid (vc)                         ganguly
 kambli                              manjrekar/sharat/dharmani
 azhar                               sachin (c)
 robin singh                         mazumdar
 saba karim (wk)                     mongia (wk)
 srinath                             kumble  (vc)
 sunil joshi                         prasad
 ganesh                              kuruvila
 noel david                          ankola/hirwani

reserves                              reserves

wassim jaffer                         sharat
rathore                               dharmani
ashish kappor                         ramprakash
robin singh (delhi)                   mhambrey

Dravid not there in the Test squad?

Sidhu not there in the one-day squad?

Please, buddy, an advice :-)

Don't post in a hurry!

Shridhar[Though u are exceelently right in omitting Azhar for the Tests]

Two alternatives:

1. Less ODI cricket (yawn!)
2. Don't you think you will burn Sachin out my placing him in both squads.

1929-30...]

Would you really omit Srinath and Dravid from the test team??? If so I
can only say that India would fair even worse than they have been doing
of late!

I admit that Srinath and Dravid are good players...But overusing them
is not good for them or India...
Making use of other player's talents and developing two teams I am sure
India can come back as  world's best team!!!
