Says Rajesh Varma, now secretary of Jharkhand Cricket Association, “He has never captained a team ever except for a district side once in 1996-97. But he’s not afraid if he’s given responsibility. The fact that he could call on Robin Uttappa when India were involved in a bowl-out with Pakistan says a lot about the trust he places in his teammates,” says Varma.

if pathan and bhajji wre picked.......veeru should have been given one chance too ......and poor rohit sharma...thrown out of the team....without letting him play a single match . :|
Why could we not include Rohit Sharma instead of Arjun Yadav to keep the guy match fit, in case his service was required after the 3 ODIs??
Frankly speaking, I'm getting sick of this Yadav who is eating one place up everytime!!
In the A team, I mean!
Veeru wud come back.
maybe they have a rotation policy for the players on the bench too!
