Team India’s latest controversy; Club for money or Country for pride The decision of some of the senior players to skip the upcoming West Indies tour has given birth to a new controversy, Club for money or Country for pride. The issue is refusing to bury, with every passing day, it is blowing into a bigger explosion. Media, common man and former greats have plunged into the fire to present their side of the story. More you try to comprehend the issue, it gets murkier the more. The controversy began after the just concluded 51 day cricket fair of money and glamour, IPL as some of the senior cricket players decided to skip the West Indies’ tour citing fatigue and demanding well deserved rest after the hectic schedule of the World Cup and IPL. Without reading in between the lines, BCCI gave its consent and decided to send a second string Indian team to WI. The team composition may well be called as India A as many budding players who are otherwise snubbed have been selected. Likes of Amit Mishra, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Shikhar Dhawan and R Ashwin have made it to the coveted list. Senior players Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Virendra Sehwag, and Yuvraj Singh have been excluded from the first leg of the WI tour, ODI and Twenty 20. For the second leg of the tour, Test series, seamer Zaheer and Dhoni will be back in the squad. Yuvraj has been left out of the squad for the entire series. Sachin wanted to skip the entire series, while Gautam and Sehwag are recuperating from the injury. The development has fuelled a new controversy, club or country, Club for money or Country for pride. Legendary all rounder, Kapil Dev has opined on the controversy. “It is for the players to decide between the club and country” said the legend. Senior players have been condemned by media and many former greats. Initially it was Gambhir who was supposed to lead the men in blue; however, he picked up shoulder injury during the IPL and was left out to nurse the injury. As huge money is floating in IPL, none of the senior player skipped it and asked for rest. Now, for WI tour they want rest. Are these players preferring money over country or club over pride? If seniors wanted rest, they would have skipped the IPL. But it wasn’t the case, the hazy screen is crystal clear now, money matters most for these players but national pride. Here is the team India for WI tour: ODI, T20 Team: Suresh Raina (capt), R Ashwin, S Badrinath, Harbhajan Singh (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra, Munaf Patel, Parthiv Patel (wk), Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ishant Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Manoj Tiwary, Shikhar Dhawan. Test Team: M S Dhoni (capt), V V S Laxman (vice-captain), M Vijay, Abhinav Mukund, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, Subramaniam Badrinath, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, S Sreesanth, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Suresh Raina, Parthiv Patel (wk). With all due respect to Zaheer Khan, Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Virendra Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and legendary Sachin Tendulakar, I would like to say, you can’t sail in two boats concurrently. Stop emotionally blackmailing crazy fans that you love playing for the nation, stop flaunting you heart for tricolor.
