Sreesanth, who made a successful Test comeback by taking a five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka in Kanpur, replaced Munaf Patel who was part of the squad for the ODI series against Australia.

There were several changes made to the team that was eliminated in the first friend of the World Twenty20 in England this year. Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja were left out and replaced by fast bowlers Dinda, Sreesanth, Tyagi and allrounder R Ashwin.

Gud squad for ODIs,although wanted to see Irfan back T20s.no Zak?wth is Dinda doing there:omg:why is Ishant selected for T20s n not ODIs.also Rohit?why not Pandey or Uthappa

[bunny]

As much as I like Sreesanth, he will be a big flop in ODIs (unless we prepare some helpful pitches). Though, he might not be any worse than Ishant. Best of luck to him in case he gets a game.

Got to agree with your concerns. Nice to see Ashwin in there though, think he is a good bowler and deserved recognition.

agree.Sree,like Ishant is a test bowler.he has tendency of giving one loose ball every over.irfan should've been tried,not coz hes any better,but he offers solidity at no.7 n is a much better fielder

Yea misisng of Pandey is inexplicable as he is doing well in first class as well.

[Lord]

Got to agree with your concerns. Nice to see Ashwin in there though' date=' think he is a good bowler and deserved recognition.[/quote'] yeah Ashwin is a good pick.he can bat too.if he does well,he can be a good backup for Bhajji

He should be tried next whenever Sehwag/Gambhir is rested or Kohli goes missing.

yeah Ashwin is a good pick.he can bat too.if he does well' date='he can be a good backup for Bhajji[/quote'] Agreed, and frankly Bhajji really needs that pressure, he has been average in limited overs cricket for quite some time (granted sometimes he is told to bowl a restrictive line but on the whole he is not getting the most out of his talent at ODI level). Hope Ashwin can do a good job.

Now wait till we overbowl Sreesanth into the dust - I mean WTF do you need him to play bilateral T20s!!

[cowboysfan]

Sree cant be worse than ishant,atleast he is good for a few wickets early.

That is exactly what i was worrying about when Ishant was picked for one dayers at the start of his career. They should allow these guys to evolve at the test level. Playing them in all formats not only tire them out also affects their growth.

selectors dont know the meaning of grooming players for the job .. there was no need for sree in the squad ..

[vvvslaxman]

They have some specialists like Praveen Kumar, Nehra for these things. Although i have this crazy belief that Praveen could do well in Tests as well. His first class record is very impressive.

[vvvslaxman]

Btw.. do they consider ICL returns for T20? I was so impressed with R.Satish's six hitting ability. And also T.P.Singh was very impressive.They could have taken a punt on them.

[diegovegaz]

good to see ishant out for odis it is a perfect squad bhajji's been given a rest for the T20s, oppurtunity for ojha to spearhead ashwin is an impressive option, but why dinda??

[bunny]
