Indian Selectors bold move to disclude
Harbhajan Singh from the first test of the on going series against the Carribeans
worked wonders for Team India. Ashwin and Ojha gave the selectors much reason
to smile for after an extraordinary display of their skill with the old ball.
What came next, would have been less of a surprise to everyone as Bhajji got
axed from the second of the affairs between the teams as well.
Now, the
question arises about the future of the most experienced bowler in the country.
Habhajan’s heroics on and off the pitch is no hidden fact to any cricket fan in India or even around the world for that matter. His exceptional display of off break has given us much to awe about in the past. Playing alongside greats like Anil Kumble had certainly evolved him into a force to be reckon with.

Leaving these facts aside, the big ticket
question is: Will Bhajji be selected for the tour down under?
He certainly is the only experienced spinner to have bowled in the aussie conditions. His inputs to the team can be more than handy all along the tour. But giving the youngsters a chance to gain experience by playing in such conditions can only do more good to the future of the team. So, i guess it again comes down to the selectors who will have to come out with the right choices keeping in mind the future of ‘The Turbanator’ in one hand and ‘Team India’ on the other.

P.S:- Let’s not forget that after the
incidents that took place the previous time India toured,the local fans would
have a lot to say to Bhajji!
its time for bhajji to go through the rigorous of domestic cricket and discover the turnbator , the classical spinner he once was...only if he comes up wid some exceptional performances in ranji trophy,he sud be considered for the tour down under ignoring the poor record of aussies against bhajji and punter being bunny of the sardar..
