Pujara Not good enough to be in the Champions trophy Probables?

[cowboysfan]

Then why are Vijay/Dhawan part of Champions trophy squad?

good point but the selectors think they are default openers right now.GG may have a chance for SA as a backup if he does well in CT.

IMO selectors are saving him for Tests, especially the away tours later this year as Pujara has a long history of injuries with both knees operated already. And he was mostly struggling through injuries in the Aus series as well.

And he was mostly struggling through injuries in the Aus series as well.[/quote'] our selectors are not smart and committed enough to make these kind of decisions based on some actual logic..

[Sooda]

:hmmm: What do you think about this decision ? I thought he would have been handy in English conditions in Champions Trophy because of his technique and temperament.

I hope it is not at the same time as that would be ridiculous scheduling. Not just Pujara but also Rahane, Dhawan, Jadeja to name a few should all be in both squads- if it is a choice between the two frankly they should go to SA

[Sachin=GOD]

Good decision. He should concentrate only on Tests.

Let's all laugh at Indian selectors....LoL Selectors Not including Pujara or Jaggi...:emc:

[prinzo]

:haha:

[Texan]

Why do people create threads with similar titles.... "Let's everyone laugh at XYZ" Lack of creativity :potstir:

[Texan]

so whats the purpose of naming probables

Because they are probables, meaning the probability of them being picked in the team is high and those not picked is low. But there is still a chance that they can be picked. In the past, many a times, a player not in the probables list has been picked in the team. Sehwag was picked for the 2007-08 tour of Australia despite not being in the probables list that was announced before.

[Trichromatic]

So, what if they had selected injured Pujara? You would created this thread anyway, right?

[hhunaeh]

They have scheduled india a tour to south africa in june. He might end up going there.

[wanted_desi]

They did decent job. Some people are never happy.

[FischerTal]

Selectors may be wanting him to give his best for SA

[vamos_rafa]

Cheteshwar Pujara, who had an excellent Test series against Australia, during which he also showed his ability to accelerate and score freely in a tricky chase in the fourth Test in Delhi, has not been named. Pujara will be leading the India A side to South Africa, the itinerary for which has not yet been finalised. Should the dates not clash, Pujara could be considered for the Champions Trophy, said a BCCI source, since it's not mandatory for teams to pick their final 15 from the preliminary squad. Pragyan Ojha, the left-arm spinner, who picked up seven wickets in two Tests against Australia and has not been included among the 30 probables, could also be part of that India A squad.

Nice move.Hope they are preserving him for tests and the A tour which are far more important than crappy Champions trophy.Bravo selectors! if they r actually thinking in that direction

[JaFanatic]

atleast chintu's exclusion is some what acceptable but whats wrong with jaggi :facepalm:

[jiggo]

Good move by selectors by picking Pujara to lead India A in South Africa. And some interesting picks in the probable 30, though expect some of them going to SA, e.g. Pandey and Kaul. I have confidence in this selection panel.
