India’s T20 World Cup selection

By the end of this summer Indian cricket fever is preparing again to make it hot in the form of t-20 world cup in the west indies . Indians were the winners of the first first edition but failed to enter into semi final berth last year .

Players like Harbhajan, Yuvraj, Zaheer, Gambhir, Dhoni, Dravid, Sehwag and Tendulkar could walk into any cricket team in world today, but it would be a crying shame if all of them put together fail to bring home a World Cup.

So, whatever decision the selectors have made today will surely impact the fortunes of these great cricketers in terms of their fitness and the nation’s chances of owning a World Cup. They must understand that a billion hopes rest on their foresight and the T20 World Cup team selection simply does not do any justice to that.
