What is all intriguing about the exclusion of Ganguly is the fact that Wasim Jaffer was made to sit on the bench despite the coach asserting his compactness. As far as the domestic teams not releasing their players for national duty, it is something that most top footballing nations face, everytime an important match clashes with a top club game.<BR/><BR/>Now most of the top players of the Indian cricket team report for state duty even when there is no international call.yvsmadhavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224221375024715570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10350463.post-1134964212552349822005-12-19T09:20:00.000+05:302005-12-19T09:20:00.000+05:30Jaffer has just walked the walk of few of his illu...Jaffer has just walked the walk of few of his illustrious team-mates from Mumbai,a name that comes to my mind is that of Raju Kulkarni a bowler in late 80's ,he used to be in full form in Ranaji,used to get regular India call,used to report India Bench while the Mumbai attack minus Kulkarni used to to be clobbered by Raman Lamba & Delhi threw Mumbai out of Ranaji contention ;-). Surprising move was Indian team management simultaneously left Kartik to perform duties for Railways in their 'important' tie against Mumbai<BR/>Which gives a notion that Jaffer selection has more than what meets to eye.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of troubles the poms used to have some years back when the respective counties didn't release their players for national duties for home games,without an assurance that the player will make it to playing eleven ( in some cases didn't release the player as it was conflicting with their county interest) the current coach and Mr Graveney had to do a lots of convincing this Summer during the ashes campaign.and the county management acted as if they were doing supreme sacrifice by not summoning the English players to do their county duties in the break between the games.<BR/><BR/>I think time has come for Indian state teams to implement same policies for their players doing India duty in home series. and ensure that the defaulter player loses his local teams membership and registration ( that is of one exists)Unsuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171983534829660251noreply@blogger.com
