This Week In Cricket (13/9/2008 - 19/9/2008)

Ganguly's exclusion from ROI team

This is a bold move from selectors. Last time they did this rest of the batsmen performed so badly that they were forced to recall Ganguly. We definitely need to start finding replacements for 'fab four' and hopefully more deserving candidates will get a chance instead of Yuvraj, who has been found lacking time and again in test cricket. Kaif looks to be in good form and can be a good replacement at no.6 if he tries to be solid instead being flashy..

exodus in Bangladesh

Bangladesh along with New zealnd and Pakistan is more vulnerable to ICL due to lack of financially lucrative domestic competitions. Bangladesh cricket will fell the pressure due to their small talent pool. Sooner or later some board has to allow players to play in ICL and represent their countries as well; other option is for IPL to have more players from these countries in their league; this potentially can harm free market promise of this league.
