Dravid returns to play one-day matches

Yet again! As expected Dravid is back in India's one day squad.

The Wall returns

In my opinion it is a backward and regressive step as I stated in one of my earlier posts.

Selectors and Rahul Dravid

I hold Dravid in high esteem and I sincerely think India will benefit in this series from Dravid's return. I delved upon some of the reasons for Dravid's inclusion in probables in the above post. There could be one other reason - selectors might want to put positive pressure on a player who is not performing well (read Rohit Sharma). They might be sending a message that no one can take India cap for granted. The thinking is good but their action is not as good . Instead of looking at Dravid (after 2 years of ignorance) they could have looked into some other players with immense potential - Pujara, M Vijay, Rahane, Naman Ojha, Badrinath, Shikhar Dhawan.

I also feel for both Jadeja and Rohit Sharma. Jadeja was never given enough chances at international level to prove his worth while Sharma, when he got a chance, mostly batted at either 6 or 7 where he could not contribute much. Both of them are talented players and I am sure they will do well in future.

I don't want to make a case for Sharma or Jadeja but I think Dravid's inclusion was not a good decision. What is done cannot be undone but selectors should start thinking about the time when Sehwag returns to the fold; who will they drop?
