DesiChap Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Kaif back in ‘favour’, Ranadeb among 14 A STAFF REPORTERCalcutta: Mohammed Kaif, who last donned India colours in the ODI series in South Africa, is back in ‘favour.’ According to a BCCI release, the UP player is among 15 probables named for a batsmen-specific fitness camp to be held before selecting the Indian squad for the tours of Ireland and England. The NCA in Bangalore will host the camp for batsmen from June 9-12. The injured Manoj Tiwary and Suresh Raina were not considered. The camp for bowlers will be held at Mysore’s Infosys campus from June 4-8. Bengal medium pacer Ranadeb Bose is in the list of 14 probables. Harbhajan Singh, Ajit Agarkar and Irfan Pathan — who were ignored after the disastrous World Cup campaign — have also made a ‘comeback.’ Whether they ultimately get selected remains to be seen. Those who make the squad will have to attend a conditioning camp at the NCA from June 13-16. The BCCI released the probables lists after consultation with selection committee chairman Dilip Vengsarkar. The six Indians who have made the Asia squads — Sachin, Harbhajan, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Munaf — will be released from the camps in case of a clash with the Afro-Asia Cup matches. Piyush Chawla and Yo Mahesh are not among the probables as they will be leaving for training at the Australian Cricket Academy on June 2. BOWLING PROBABLES (Camp in Mysore, June 4-8) Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Ajit Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan, R.P. Singh, Ramesh Powar, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, VRV Singh, Ishant Sharma, Ranadeb Bose, Rajesh Pawar, Pragyan Ojha BATTING PROBABLES (Camp at NCA, June 9-12) Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Wasim Jaffer, Mohammed Kaif, Yuvraj Singh, Dinesh Mongia, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Robin Uthappa, S.

Predator_05 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Good move. Kaif has a very good record in England. He is the only guy who scored any runs there back in September of 2004 when India were killed by England in the Natwest Challenge. Link to comment
Ram Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 yea..Include him in th team.. only to score meaningless 31 off 67 balls or 56 off 92 balls. The bad part is -- after having wasted all those overs , he gets out. The worst part is , he gets dropped from the team , goes to the media and asks -- " I dont know why i was dropped. Nobody told me the reason."... hahaha... Nice comic relief.. Link to comment
Guest dada_rocks Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Ranadeb Bose has bene performing for long so his call is understandable but what do selectors see in this bojo called kaif is beyond me..There are at least a dozen more capable batsman than this guy .... Link to comment
novpj Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 This bozo Kaif is more valuable today than bozo called Ganguly who is nearing his shelf life. Opportunities given to Kaif are better investment than spots wasted on Ganguly and SRT Link to comment
Ram Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 And somebody tell me ONE critical difference Kaif can make to this team as a batsman. You will have to search real hard..... Link to comment

Gaurav Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 It's difficult to hate Kaif. Make him the team mascot :hysterical: Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 It's difficult to hate Kaif. Make him the team mascot :hysterical: I find it quite easy to hate him. Him getting back in to the squad scares me:confused_smile: Link to comment

Opportunities given to Kaif are better investment than spots wasted on Ganguly and SRT Ganguly has shown he is capable unlike this bojo who is yet to learn how to hold a cricket bat Link to comment
