Captaincy Calling

The Team India selectors have done the right thing in going for Rahul Dravid as the skipper for the upcoming tri-series at Sri Lanka. There is no certainty as to whether the International Cricket Council (ICC) will lift the suspension on Sourav Ganguly. Moreover, though the latter has been fairly successful in the English County tournaments, one can hardly bank on his batting form at the highest level, considering his indifferent outings at the crease in the last international matches where he featured. So, it is a good move on the part of the selectors to relieve him from the added responsibility of captaincy, so that that he can concentrate more on his batting and take on the opposition with all guns blazing, and hopefully, earn back the position of the captain of Team India in the process.
