Does India have good enough players to replace Sachin, Rahul or even Saurav today in ODI's and Tests, my answer is no.
I watched most of the Deodar Trophy matches, could not find even one good batsman. Rohit Sharma and Manoj Tewari seem to have the potential, but they certainly do not look good enough to make international debut at the moment.
Raina and Kaif were given maximum number of opportunities, but they could not make the grade and they do not seem to be in good form at present.
Only players who can be replaced is Bhajji with Power. The other player who needs to be replaced is Munaf with Ishant Sharma. Munaf is certainly a good bowler, if, Laxman cannot make the team because of his fielding, how can Munaf make it, they mention is age is 23, his fielding makes him look like he is 40.

no one can replace other. but we can develop or give chance to youngters to become more than the old people you said. How long you still relay on them when they are not performing evn 3 out of 10.

We would rather lose with the likes of 18 year old Tamim Iqbal than the tried and trusted failures like SACHIN who is 33
