The Bengal southpaw has been psychologically tortured by Chappel-More combo. I dare say Sachin was also behind the scene to keep Sourav out of Team India.
Team India is no more.It has become Team Mumbai or Team South India (some body posted a message on this board: players from South are discriminated against)
I have marked a total lack of passion to win in Team India. Sourav had built that. Some would say he was arrogant. He was out and out aggressive and was paying back the Aussies or English cricketers (remebmer how he whirled his shirt after Natwest win in response to a similar act by Flintoff)in their own coins!
He was backing players and every team member felt secured against any arbitrary or whimsical treatment by Board Officials or Selectors. Irony is that he himself was subjected to such ignominy by those very people.
Lastly, though his comeback will be welcome, I can well see some sinister design behind this. Sourav's psyche is badly dented and his weakness against pace and bounce is well known. Are they out to finish him off by selecting him for tests not for ODIs where technique is secondary? VVS for ODI and Sourav for Tests in SA? Isn't it strange?
