Which means there is no point. Who out of your top 6 doesn't deserve a spot. Surely your first gamer deserves more the 1 game and you have youngsters doing what Yuvraj is doing domestically.
Yeah for Test match there is no point,but only for LOIs maybe there but even that is grim

sehwag is 36 and as much as i love him , i dont want him to make a comeback.. though we will be playing all our matches in india for considerable amt of time
My point is that selectors should give Sehwag 4 tests in middle order and tell him this might be his last chance to play tests, unless he gets some useful runs.

Why does OP get the impression that Dhoni had a "key hand" in removing Gambhir, Sehwag, Harbhajan and Zaheer? :hmmm: In fact, Dhoni tried his level best to get Gambhir back in the team. In SA, when Gambhir was not even in the squad, in a press conference, Dhoni said that Gambhir was his back-up opener. When told that Gambhir was not even in the squad, he said that he will stick to his answer. He made the selectors pick Gambhir again for England and gave him a chance as soon as Dhawan's form dipped. Eventually, Gambhir flopped miserably and there was no way Dhoni was going to convince anybody to retain Gambhir this time. As for Sehwag, after his eyesight got weak and his hand-eye co-ordination was no longer the same, the journey was over. For Zaheer, injuries put him out of the team for long spells and even when not injured, he was hopelessly unfit. Lastly, on Harbhajan - he had been keeping his place in the team for a long time despite having no performances of note for his last 5 - 6 years. After Ashwin came along and was successful in India, it was end of the road for Harbhajan.

Dhawan , Rohit Sharma are young great players. What did they do? Make a grand total of 20 runs per innings outside India. Even Sehwag can make what these great players are making.
if Sehwag is also going to score same runs why recall him back and not pursue with younger players who might get better in future.
