I am surprised at these guys talking about ex india players going on A tours which i presume are to be given to the fringe players who have not made their entry into national team or guys who have been discarded from national team with a few games under their belt and long time in between but not for the guys who have played 100 or 50 games and over 10 years in service, that is just ridiculous. Look forward take Dhawan, Mukund, Vijay, Chand, Gambhir or even Jaffer to lend some experience in the opening slot. Middle order could be Pujara, Kohli, Rohit, Rayudu, Rahane, Raina,Tiwari, Suryakumar Yadav and some others who i might have missed out. Spinners- take Ashwin, Rasool, Ojha, Nadeem or iqbal, Rahul sharma. pacers- depending on the fitness anyone who is fit and raring to go but definitly not Ishant this guy has been around for over 6 + years and yet to show his potential, just potential does not provide results it needs temperament too which i dont think he has in him. IPL form no way

its all well and good... But there are a lot of comments about getting back Jaffer and thats surprising.. Give peoplelike dhawan a go for atleast 10 test matches.. Give him support and confidence which Dhoni does... And after that assess his performance and if he does not go well then replace him with another young blood.. Not bak with sehwag and jaffer... Pls look ahead... Take the chance... let them fail and let them learn and dont drop them immedietly... Give them time to fill in the big boots of the seniors..
