As if the tigers were not enough, we have regionalism crippling the Indian cricket team too. How a youngster like Wriddhiman Saha with virtually no exposure to cricket at the highest level has made it into the squad inspite of a host of superb batsmen waiting in line to get noticed escapes me. If India wins the test, I believe this will most definitely go unnoticed. But if they don’t I will be mighty surprised if the Indian media doesn’t highlight this already highlighted issue.
What escapes me is how can they leave someone of the caliber of Parthiv Patel outside the squad. And that too when he has been the highest run scorer in Ranji recently.
But such are the ways India works. And the Indian intelligentsia believes that there will be people protesting against the tigers’ regionalism. I sure don’t think so.
