Form Matters

If Sourav Ganguly is out of the India squad because of lack of form - something that cannot be weighed out by the loads of runs he has thus far scored in international cricket, how come Sachin Tendulkar be there in the same squad after failing miserably in the Challenger Trophy? Can the projected messiah, Greg Chappell put a full-stop to such double standards in Indian cricket? If history does not hold good for Ganguly, it should have no relevance for Sachin Tendulkar also. The mere name 'Sachin Tendulkar' should no longer make him an automatic choice to represent Team India. Not only Sourav Ganguly and Zaheer Khan, but also Sachin Tendulkar should be allowed to feel that nobody is indispensable to the Indian team and it is current form that matters most in the squad selection.
