why is wasim zafar in the squad...can somebody mell me if selectors see him as an immediate or long term prospect for odi's. this is another idiotic selection, pankaj singh again is not international class .trivedi has been in challenger teams for so many years without making an impression..if selectors see them playing for india than hats off to them.. less said about the tamil nadu players the better,,selectors could have invested in intersting talents like netravalkar ,,but such things should not be expected from this set of selectors...:hatsoff:

Mukund to replace Tendulkar in NKP Salve Trophy Sachin Tendulkar has pulled out of the Challenger Series for the NKP Salve Trophy starting on October 8. According to the BCCI’s list on Tuesday, Abhinav Mukund, the Tamil Nadu left-handed batsman, will replace Tendulkar, reports G Krishnan. More... Mukund to replace Tendulkar G Krishnan, Hindustan Times Nagpur, October 07, 2009 First Published: 01:08 IST(7/10/2009) Last Updated: 02:00 IST(7/10/2009) Sachin Tendulkar has pulled out of the Challenger Series for the NKP Salve Trophy starting on October 8. According to the BCCI’s list on Tuesday, Abhinav Mukund, the Tamil Nadu left-handed batsman, will replace Tendulkar. Though no official reason was given for Tendulkar’s withdrawal, it is understood that the 36-year-old, originally named to play for India Blue has sought rest. He suffered food poisoning during the Champions Trophy. He subsequently had a fall following a black-out in the hotel room. Mukund was the only centurion in the October 1-5 Irani Cup, scoring 126 for the ROI against Mumbai. There have been some changes to the squads, with Tamil Nadu’s S. Badrinath named to lead India Red in place of the injured Yuvraj Singh. Badrinath moves from India Green to Red. Irfan Pathan, who withdrew from the ROI squad for Irani Cup for lack of match practice and not being in the ‘right frame’, has withdrawn from the India Green and has been replaced by Himachal Pradesh’s Vikramjit Singh Malik. Meanwhile, the absence of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has gone unnoticed. Bhuvaneshwar, who was named in India Red, has been summoned by Royal Challengers Bangalore as Jesse Ryder’s replacement in the Champions League.

sachin tendulkar is out of challenger trophy starting from 8 oct-11 oct ..now its time for sachin to retire and give youngsters a chance as he has been more frequent to injuries
@ retirement..:hysterical::hysterical: Even if he was not injured, I would have still liked him to take rest. Not just in the Challemger Trophy but also in all matches against minnows.BCCI must make sure Sachin plays only important matches. A fit Sachin is vital for India to win the WC.

All set for Challenger Series Dhoni & Badrinath to match wits in first game More... All set for Challenger Series Nandakumar Marar Dhoni & Badrinath to match wits in first game NAGPUR: Captains have a huge influence in the limited-overs game as they need to take instinctive decisions and make Power Play calculations. In an event like the Challenger Series, where the selectors are expected to double up as cricket managers and teams don’t have coaches, captains M.S. Dhoni (India Blue), S. Badrinath (India Red) and Suresh Raina (India Green) are likely to have their hands full. The opening fixture between India Blue and India Red at the floodlit VCA stadium will see Dhoni and Badrinath matching wits. S. Sreesanth, Siddharth Trivedi and Ashok Dinda offer Dhoni multiple new ball options and they will be supported by medium-pacer Abhishek Nayar and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. Golden opportunity Sreesanth, fit and fast, troubled the Mumbai batsmen in the Irani Cup and considers the Challenger Series for the N.K.P. Salve Trophy as another golden opportunity. “I look at the Challenger as a lottery, like the Irani Cup, to continue my Warwickshire form,” said Sreesanth, now in a perfect frame of mind to startle the batsmen with control and movement. “I have not played much cricket after the IPL and then picked up the back injury. The Challenger selection could not have come at a better time,” Sreesanth added. The Kerala bowler’s ability to torment batsmen with late swing can work to India Blue’s benefit if the nippy Trivedi or Dinda can keep up the pressure at the other end. Trivedi was named the ‘best player’ in last year’s Challenger final and Dinda has proved capable of rising to the occasion in first-class cricket. Nayar will prove an able foil with his controlled seam bowling. Badrinath heads the list of explosive batsmen in the India Red line-up, followed by Ravindra Jadeja, Wriddhiman Saha, Sunny Sohal and Shikhar Dhawan who are all capable of destroying any bowling attack. The huge VCA stadium ground will be a big test of their power and timing. Munaf Patel and Sudeep Tyagi are familiar with the venue, having featured in the victorious Rest of India squad. Ishant Sharma’s wicket-taking ability will be put to test. Interesting mix India Green is an interesting mix of young batting and bowling talent in Ajinkya Rahane, S. Aniruddha and Dhawal Kulkarni under an untested captain, Raina. L. Balaji and Parthiv Patel will be the calming influence, thanks to their international experience.
