Sunil Gavaskar included in Indian T20 side versus England



Veteran Indian Batsman Sunil Gavaskar has been the surprise inclusion in the Indian Cricket Team announced for the T20 match versus England. The BCCI selectors Chairman Krishnamachari Srikanth announced this to shocked pressmen waiting to hear who would be in the Indian T20 team. It may be noted that after Indian cricket team's shocking two tests loss to England, and the dismal performance of India's top order batsmen against English pace bowlers, Indian selectors have been looking for solidarity. As a first step, they brought back Rahul Dravid into the Indian one day squad . Rahul Gandhi  has last played one day internationals about two years ago. It was said that Indian selectors have gone back to the Wall just for solidarity. The announcement was a surprise to many considering that Indian selectors have time and again said that the way to go forward was the way to go.

And now in the Indian T20 side, they have named veteran Indian Batsman Sunil gavaskar in the squad. As in Dravid's case when they went back to the wall for solidarity, probabably in Gavaskar's case they want sunny days back since the days are quite dark since India has lost two back to back tests. As Dravid last played one day matches about 2 years back, Sunil Gavaskar has last played T20 cricket... well errr.... our statistician will get back soon with that data. Anyway, Gavaskar said that he would retire from T20 cricket as soon as the India England T20 match finishes. It may be of significance to note that gavaskar has never retired from T20 cricket and during his retirement he had only announced his retirement from Tests and one days.
