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.

You are absolutely right Shaz. Selectors can not throw out seniors based on a few failures or minor health problems. At the same time they cannot bring in Juniors simply because of their physical fitness and good scores in the shorter versions. The seniors themselves should withdraw from such short versions if they cannot cope with its demands. It is easy to find faults all the time but difficult to logically arrive at a choice simply based on what is best for the country. Any choice will never be unanimously liked. abmehta
