‘Team selection on the basis of form’

All eyes will be on the Chairman of Selectors for the Indian team — Dilip Vengsarkar, who will look to pick the right squad for the upcoming tri-series in Bangladesh and the subsequent Asia Cup in Pakistan. Form and fitness will be top most priority in the upcoming team selection and the boss himself has sent this message across to the players.
Dilip Vengsarkar said, “The team will be chosen on May 30 on the basis of players’ form and fitness. The best team will be picked.” This statement comes as a big thumbs up for young players whom have outshined in the IPL.
The selection panel chief said while the Indian Premier League was a very good concept and has given a very good chance to young players to show their wares, one-day internationals were different. “IPL is a very good concept. Young players with potential have come along. But one-day international is a different ball game,” he said.
Vengsarkar also indicated that along with choosing the team for the June 8-14 tri-series and the June 24-July 6 Asia Cup, the selectors were also scheduled to pick fringe players and fast bowlers for the National Cricket Academy’s camp in Bangalore in June. He later held a meeting with NCA director Dav Whatmore at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s office to discuss the camps.
