The (sorry) tale of two young cricketers

A Team India player gets injured during the course of a One Day series. He leg is crocked and is forced to stay away from the game for the better part of a month ( or more). Despite having not played any competitive cricket of any sort, he is fast tracked into the team.

I could be talking about him or him.

I only hope that he does not get scapegoated after an India loss as he is!!

I wonder why the selector mind are now!!! why would they want both when they haven't played cricket for quite while..and one keeps himself from injury and the other had been sideline for two months or so... they would be scapegoat if india lose!!!
Don't you think one Billion people don't have substitute for the two cricketer and ...still lot's from the current squad!!

i wish it was that simple :). there are players and there are players, but the problem is that can they step up to the next level? and are the selectors willing to punt on them this close to the World Cup?
