Re: India in Sri Lanka 2008 - Five questions before the selectors
Thankfully Wasim Jaffer is dropped.
Also, the selectors did the right thing with Yuvraj. He would not have played any Tests even if he was selected for the tour given the packed middle order. So, it makes sense to omit him altogether and allow him to rest.
Among the new breed of batsmen, only Rohit Sharma looks likely to succeed at the Test level. So his selection is understandable.
All in all, a good team. Can't complain.
