I agree to BCCI that they are looking for future. But I need to ask, are they really looking in right direction. Our senior players have hardly 1-2 yrs left, now in this stage they have been dropped. I agree Ganguly can't run fast, fielding is poor, but can anyone from young lot can match him. No one ganguly and dravid are class, which is required for quality cricket. Moreover these young guys promises a lot, but never deliver in quality cricket. Raina is still a waste. Praveen kumar has no pace. Gautam is not gambhir at all, he is very arrogant. If we need to phase out seniors, make the bench strength strong, which we dont have. If selectors can drop dravid and ganguly, why can't they dare to drop Sachin as well, the most selfish player India ever had. Still Ganguly is better match winner than Sachin. This selection is not fair at all.

forget that India team selection criteria is first good feilder then comes batting and bowling. So Athletes which can run 100m and then prospective hockey and football goalkeepers are the first criteria to play cricket and get selected for Indian team. Samjha Karo yaar

you are telling absolutely wrong because Sachin played a great knocked every time India needed but Ganguly played a only good Captaincy which India is not required right now. So there is no use of ganguly in the One-Day squad. Apart from these Dravid is the most required player India having because his talent and mindset. So they should Select him

Wats the use !!!!! Sachin's 2nd innings avarage aginst australia is 16 which is very bad by his standards.ITs nt abt the individual records. Infact both of them have proved thir caliber many times.
Its nt just the past records that matters. see the current form of gunguly.So, he is important for the going series.
