Rahul Dravid could be the most high profile inclusion for the ODI tri series in Sri Lanka.
dravid for tri series
As the selectors get down the busy end of business under the auspice of the chairman of selectors, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, they will perhaps be making the most important comeback decision for the tri series in Sri Lanka that also involves New Zealand.
Dravid has not played an ODI for India since October 2007 but rather than any particular brilliance on the part of a man who has already amassed over 10,000 runs, necessity will perhaps dictate this decision. Another boost will the presence of Sachin Tendulkar.
Virender Sehwag will still require a long recovery process which not only means that he is ruled out for the tri series but also, has cast a shadow of doubt on his participation in the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa. If he does miss the latter, this will be the second high profile ICC event after the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 in England that he will miss playing.
Suresh Raina will come back from injury and Rohit Sharma has suffered a serious slump for team India which means that India will be low on experience. Zaheer Khan's injury will also weaken the bowling attack and will require Ishant Sharma to pick his game after the lacklustre performance in England as well as in the ODI series in the West Indies. Ashish Nehra is likely to be a part of a squad as also, R.P. Singh.
All set for Sunday's selection as players await the call with bated breath.
