This thread is for the upcoming ODI series between India and Pakistan. BCCI has declared the team for the ODIs and dada (Sourav Ganguly) is missing from the list.

The squad: Rahul Dravid (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Mohd Kaif, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, R P Singh, Murali Kartik, Harbhajan Singh, S Sreesanth.

Am not really happy with Sreesanth's selection. He's promising but I think we have better options in SS Paul, Amit Bhandari and Gagandeep Singh.

Ganguly again has missed out, however I think the selectors will stay firm with the current squad of players as they seem to be performing well at the moment.

Is India going to wear there new ODI jerseys. The dark blu ones I want to see that it will be fun two awsome jerseys.

They should be wearing the new kit as their contract with Nike to supply their kit has commenced, so if they didn't it would be breech of contract, which is against the law so I'm sure they will.

Unless he's in bad form I don't agree with that, look at his batting and bowling averages for ODIs. I can't believe the way Ganguly has been treated of late.

Again I refer to the saying of "if it aint broke don't fix it". India have performed well of late in ODI's and I feel that Ganguly would be getting in the way of bringing through youthful talent for the World Cup and future.

Ganguly has been in a very bad form of late and thats ehy he lost his captaincy and position in the team. In the last few years he has played bad against all the good teams (apart from a test century against Australia). The selectors have done a good job in not selecting him as I dont think Pakistan is the right team for him to try to make a comaback. He has always shown weakness against Shoaib Akhtar. I think it will be better to give him another chance against England.
