Yuvraj Singh given a wakeup call

Few years back the selectors chef had a practice to address media explaining reason behind every selection and every drop.

And this practice was now stopped as BCCI secretary now  releases a media statement on the team giving no details on exclusions and inclusions leaving door ajar open on assumptions and cooked stories. 

Ditto is the case for Yuvraj Singh. 

He was rested / dropped / axed / warned. 

Stats prove 2010 is not his strongest year in ODIs. He's played just 5 ODIs and made 96 runs with an highest of 74. He did not play SA series owing to injury he had. IPL and World T20 were disastrous for him. He was not part of Zim tri series. He was given a chance to rediscover his fitness and form. For a day he came to Chandigarh for some func which media snapped and aired. Making a view that the dance with the Hard Kaur was reason behind his axe.

Yuvraj Singh is a vital cog in Indian ODI plans and he cannot be left out in the vicinity of the World Cup. This may be a right time to give him a nudge to mend his ways right and have a relook at his priorities, commitment and ambitions. 

If he returns rejuvenated hungry and fitter, he would make a great favor for himself and to the team which now needs a winning boost urgently. 

The time for experimentation in batting is almost over and we got to finalise the main batsmen which could be

Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Raina, Kohli, Rohit Sharma and include a few more.

What needs to look into right now is the bowling departmnet but Mr Srikanth is neglecting the fact.  Somebody needs to give him a waking call too.
