**** NEW DELHI, May 24: ** All-rounder Yuvraj Singh and VVS Laxman along with paceman VRV Singh are out of the Indian team for the second Test against Bangladesh at Mirpur, Dhaka. Although VRV Singh put up a good show in the first Test at Chittagong, picking three wickets in the first innings play, the pacer has been dropped from the playing XI for the second Test.
As for Laxman and Yuvraj, the two did not play even in the first Test.
Team India will take on the hosts at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur in the second Test of the two-match series from Friday. The first Test between the two nations ended in a dull draw after over 15 hours of play was lost due to incessant rains.
well Danish Karthik is doing a fair job with the bat. I think Indian management is always unfair to laxman. He is a class act & that happens to him all the time.
^ When we have a superb opener in Wasim Jaffer...who needs Laxman or Yuvraj. Good decision, I must say.
Who 'needs' Yuvraj. I can't believe you said that. Not a lot of players in that Indian side can play text book cricket like yuvi. He hits the bowl through the line with ease, there is so much elegance in his stroke play. He is the future of Indian cricket, dada and co' won't be around for long.

yar he was being sarcastic when he said who needs yuraj or laxman. Subcontinent cricket is plagued with this problem where talented middle order batsmen cannot hold their position permanently because the middle order positions are often "reserved" for certain players. And obviously these talented middle order players cannot come up as an opener since they are not "specialist openers".
^LuC...I also said that Jaffer was a superb opener. What do you think about that ?
He has a better technique for TEST cricket then Veeru. He hits proper cricket shots and Indian selectors should stick with him and Karthik beyond this series.
