^wow I am impressed with your knowledge of Indian cricket. You are indeed mysterious.

No, Balaji is not injured. Infact he played in the India vs India A series leading up to this series…and even dismissed Tendulkar in his comeback game.

As for the quota limit, there is no written rule…however the comsposition of the selection commitee and the way it works ensures that every zone must be represented in the team…which means that some zones can only have so many players in the side even though they may have additional deserving candidates.

Well, i don’t have to have Indian quota system knowledge, do i??? I just think this sort of quota system would NOT keep a bowler out if he is talented enough.
I am sure he was dropped on the basis of poor performance, have a look at this:

Balaji’s performance in last 4 ODI’s he ahs played:

Vs pak at VDCA stadium: 0/32 off 6
Vs Pak at Sardar patel stadium: 1/51 off 7 overs
Vs pak at Green park: 0/51 off 6 overs

DROPPED for last 2 matches
Returned against SriLanka in Dambulla with figures of 1/48 off 10.

Overall average in these matches: 54
Economy rate: 6.14

Now, i don’t think quota system applies here, does it???
Maybe i know more about your own players;)
