It’s Barely Two Days Since India’s Squad Announcement For West Indies Tour Are Made By The BCCI And
People Are Already Filling Up Social Media With Posts Of Criticism.
Where They Are Questioning Selectors On Prioritizing IPL Over Ranji For Setting It As The Base
For Team India Selection Nowadays.
First Of All, Let Us Tell You Squads For Tests and ODI That Is Picked By Selectors;
TEST Squad: Rohit Sharma (Capt), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ajinkya Rahane (VC), KS Bharat (wk),   Ishan Kishan (wk), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Navdeep Sain
India’s ODI Squad: Rohit Sharma (Capt), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya (VC), Shardul Thakur, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar.
In Tests, You Can See How Ruturaj Gaikwad Is Included Ahead Of Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Baba Aparajith
Even When All Three Of Them Had Made Tons Of Runs For Their Respective States In Ranji From Last 2 Seasons Atleast,
But Instead Of Them, Ruturaj Gaikwad Is Picked Who Was The Part Of This Year’s IPL Championship Winning
Side, Chennai Super Kings & Out Of The 3 Players Mentioned Above 2 Didn’t Play In The IPL,
And Sarfaraz Had A Season To Forget With Delhi Capitals Team. His Team Finished Last In The Points Table.
One More Player Who Is Selected Into The Squad Due To His Performance For His IPL Franchise Is Ishan Kishan.
He Is Being Picked For The Role Of 2nd Wicket Keeper AlongSide  K.S Bharat For The Tour But The Matter Of The Fact
Is That Ishan Not Played Any Domestic Tournament Recently To Be Selected As Wicket Keeper Or Even Should he Not
Be In Selector’s Scheme Of Things To Groove Him As The Backup Wicket Keeper In Tests.
Instead Of Him, Akshay Wadkar Wicketkeeper From Vidarbha Had Scored 2506 Runs Till Now In His First-Class Career With The Average Of 53.31Â Can Be Tried For This Tour.
After All, This is Not A Series Which Holds Very High Stakes Where You Have To Pick Your A-Team, Tours Like This Should Be Utilized To Check Your Pool Strength Only.
One More Selection Call For This IPL Over Ranji Fuss Is The Promotion Of Ajinkya Rahane As The Vice Captain Of The Team Once Again
After Being Dropped From The Team. All This After A Successful IPL Stint, Rahane Was The Part Of The Chennai Super Kings In This Year
IPL.
Calls Like These Are The Sour Reasons For People Losing The Trust In Our Current Selection Committee Who Is Chaired By Former Team India Player Shiv Sunder Das As Interim Chief Selector Due To The Resignation Of Ex-Chief Selector Chetan Sharma After The Sting Operation Debacle.
BCCI In Consultation With Team Management Need To Protect Ranji Trophy & Other Domestic Tournaments Like Duleep Trophy, and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy From Being Irrelevant For Team India Selection.
Ranji Trophy Is Single-Handedly The Most Difficult Place To Score Runs, It Checks Player’s Temperament For The 5 Day Challenge More Well Than The 20 Overs IPL Game.
Players’ Fitness & Mental Toughness Are The 2Â Most Important Factors, For Playing Well In Tests And Can Only Be Tested When
You Play For Longer Sessions & Longer Runs Instead Of Playing 2-3 Overs For A IPL Franchise.
IPL Is No Doubt One Of The Reasons For The Growth Of Indian Cricket But It’s. Not Alone The Only Factor
Players Like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, V.V.S Laxman Only Came In Lime Light After Their Glorious Performances In
Ranji Trophy While Representing Their Respective States.
Red Ball Cricket Is a Lot More Different Game Than A White Ball Cricket Game. The Nature Of Red Cherry Is Dangerous With His Beautiful Swing & Seam Movements Which Tests Your Character 1000 Times More Than A White Ball. For This Players Need To Have a Solid Technique With Them Which Only Comes When You Play Longer Formats Of The Game.
Indian Cricket Needs Players From Domestic As Transition Will Start In Near Future For This Current Generation To Be Phased Out.
