thought of them as. Eventually the choice advisory group and the chief felt this

during the current day. Not for a solitary day, nor for a private minute, did I
have a predisposition that I won't play for India once more.

another four to five years. I am certain that I can speak to India in all
arrangements to the best of my capacities."

eventual talked about. The individuals who we felt - the choice board and
skipper felt - were scrutinized. There was no dissertation about Yuvraj
Singh."

connections" while picking the squads. "We search for the
exhibitions, the wellness and the blend - whether a bowler or batsman fits in
that mix. Most recent two years we have been attempting … we have committed a
few errors, and may be, we will commit some more errors yet we need to gain
from the mix-ups. Indian cricket has knowledgeable move period and we are
simply attempting to settle down."
