Teams are selected on the basis of performance in ranji trophy and deodar trophy and other tournaments and not on the basis of t-20.Yes the attitude shown by the youngsters has been great;also they will gain by playing alongside legends but just on the basis of these performances to select them in the national side would be foolhardy.The reason is that in t-20 you can get away by having little or no technique but the same players who succeed in t-20 may get sorted out in the longer versions of the game.The ipl t-20 can be a stepping stone for the youngsters but definitely not the selecting criterion for them.
