I would love to see an Indian team with all its frontline pacers fit and firing on all cylinders - Zak, RP and Ishant.

Agreed - he has to be fully fit before he plays.

No such thing as excessive cricket: BCCI President-elect The BCCI’s President-elect Shashank Manohar feels there is no such thing as excessive cricket. More... No such thing as excessive cricket: BCCI President-elect © Cricket NirvanaSaturday, July 19, 2008 10:16:48 AM Mumbai: The BCCI’s President-elect Shashank Manohar feels there is no such thing as excessive cricket. Manohar was referring to Dhoni’s complaint, and subsequent withdrawal from the tour of Sri Lanka, that he was fatigued after being on the road non-stop for the best part of the last year. Manohar said, “International cricketers are professionals. And there never is too much cricket.” The President-in-waiting further said if players felt playing 100-odd days of cricket in a year was taxing, they should leave and make way for others. He said, “If cricketers feel playing for 100-110 days a year is too stressful, then they should leave and let others play. As a professional, you can't complain about playing 100-110 days in a calendar year,” Indian one-day captain MS Dhoni has earlier lamented about the tough Asia Cup schedule, and expressed his thoughts that the players were finding it difficult to come to terms with the cramped schedule, and that there was very little time to recuperate. India in international cricket in the last twelve months: One-day series in Ireland against Belfast Test series in England One-day match against Scotland One-day series against England ICC World Twenty20 One-day series against Australia at home Test series against Pakistan at home One-day series against Pakistan at home Test series in Australia Tri-series in Australia Test series against South Africa at home Tri-series in Bangladesh Asia Cup in Pakistan Currently – Tour of Sri Lanka

Hey Shawank Moneyhar, it's not 100 days of cricket. It's the pre match preperation, practice/warm up matches, the travel time to and from tours as well as fitness camps, press conferences (pre-post) as well as cricketing functions, and finally the matches themselves that adds up to a year round job you jackass.

Sehwag could miss Champions Trophy Sehwag underwent surgery on June 11 after a lesion was identified in his shoulder, and is expected to be out of action for around 12 to 16 weeks. More... Sehwag could miss Champions Trophy Cricinfo staff June 19, 2009 Virender Sehwag's shoulder injury could keep him out for 12 to 16 weeks © AFP Virender Sehwag, the Indian batsman, could miss the Champions Trophy in September as he recovers from the shoulder injury that kept him out of the ICC World Twenty20. Sehwag underwent surgery on June 11 after a lesion was identified in his shoulder, and is expected to be out of action for around 12 to 16 weeks. The Indian team physio Nitin Patel will monitor Sehwag's rehabilitation process and his stint at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. Sehwag has to wear a sling for at least four weeks, and the lesion is expected to heal in six weeks. His shoulder will also be evaluated ten weeks after the operation to check whether he can throw a ball. The Champions Trophy, which starts on September 24, is India's next scheduled assignment after the upcoming short trip to the Caribbean. Sehwag had picked up the injury during the latter stages of the IPL, and there had been intense speculation over his fitness during the build-up to the World Twenty20. The uncertainty over his injury led to reports of a rift between him and the captain MS Dhoni, which prompted the team to make a dramatic public show of unity and emphasise their team spirit through a statement read out by Dhoni.

[Jai Ho]

He can miss as many games he wants to as long as he's at one end facing mendis and murali in october.

[Anakin]

Might as well, he needs the time off, he better be ready for the test series.

Forgot Yuvraj's century? And then there are Tendulkar:adore: and Gambhir who can play him. Also Dhoni.

[fineleg]

Big blow to the chances at Champions Trophy without sehwag. Oh well, I suppose Rohit can open and score some runs!
