I suggest you read the article whose link ehsan provided in this thread... It says there he was dropped...
First of all It doesnt work.
And even if it said that he was dropped then it was wrong reporting.

AQ it does work, just checked.
AQ it does work (now just saying it doesnt work wont help)... And even cricket.org says that he was dropped... Whom should I believe, u or two authenticated links?
Brother the link does work but you are right Srinath was rested and not droped. If only way to prove that is by providing Links of some newspaper then here it is :-
from BBC :-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/hi/english/cricket/england/newsid_2026000/2026696.stm
"Srinath claimed just 13 wickets during the recent five-Test series in the West Indies, which India lost 2-1, and was then rested for the one-day internationals. "
From Hindustan Times :-

“Srinath claimed just 13 wickets during the recent five-Test series in the West Indies, which India lost 2-1, and was then rested for the one-day internationals”

If someone is rested for a tour on account of poor performance, HE IS DROPPED...

I know its hard to convince you . Ok..We agree that he was DROPPED.
Nothing will convince you, Even If Srinath Himself Said that to you, still here is it from Times Of India :-
He claimed just 13 wickets during the recent five-Test series in the West Indies, but asked to be rested for the subsequent one-day internationals.

It is not the first Time that he has been rested from the One day Team. He was rested from the One day team against Zimbabwe, South Africa, New Zealand etc. also.

Rested or dropped, what difference does it make, the guy wants to retire and thats it. He has had a good career and this will be the right time to go.
Agreed with ehsan, this is an excellent time for him to retire...

Ehsan Bhai, It doesn't make any difference, but when someone uses such words like "...Getting kicked out was the reason Srinath started getting retirement thoughts in the first place..." .
It insults a player and his dignity and the point I am trying to make here that he wasn't kicked out of the Team and its not a reason for his retirement either.
Imagine me using exactly same words against any of the players of Pakistan Team, Everyone will start calling me names immidiately.

Just to prove that it was his omission from the one day squad that convinced him to retire…

Knowledgeable sources say that it was his omission from the one-dayers that prompted Srinath to make the decision. When told about this, Ganguly said, "I had absolutely no idea. This is the first time I am hearing about it. But I failed to understand what he meant by saying that he would not be playing in the Test matches any more.

Rested… hehehe

If it is same thing then why were you arguing that he was dropped and not rested ?
[This message has been edited by ehsan (edited June 07, 2002).]
From the Above link itself :-
*In fact, before leaving the West Indies at the end of the Test series, he indicated to some of his teammates that he was seriously considering retirement. But they did not take him seriously as this was not the first time that the star speedster had voiced such thoughts. *
Yes, He was rested.
AK
Yeah, so I guess he was rested... Well, the difference is, he has been rested for good now... This omission really broke his heart...
Oh, and read what you just posted... Srinath made retirement talks to his buddies before too... What makes you think that this time he is really serious? Its the "kick from the ODIs" that made him serious...

Srinath Has never wanted to Play the ONE DAYERS since 2000 itself :-
Srinath may quit playing one-dayers
"The ace fast bowler who has been reluctant to play in the shorter version of the game in recent times "

Bechara.... Srinath was kicked and this kick resulted in retirement...
And your last link proves nothing... Srinath wants to retire from TEST CRICKET!!! Read the link again...

Javagal Srinath might have announced the reasons for his sudden and surprising retirement from Test cricket but Sourav Ganguly is not having any of it.

First you wanted the link and now that I provided the link, you are repeating same thing again and again. It wont change the fact that Srinath was rested.
