India have won the first two matches of the tri-series in Bangladesh and Harsha Bhogle is excited by the pool of 20-25 players that selectors now have the luxury to pick from. He writes in the Indian Express:
Happily, there is competition for every spot and that means players will have to be on their toes; a quality that Indian cricket has not always been blessed with. Piyush Chawla is making the most of Harbhajan’s absence and Sehwag and Gambhir could raise questions on how much Tendulkar will be missed. At the moment though, this is an excellent fair-weather batting side and on tracks responsive to quality seam and swing bowling, the top order still needs to prove it can do without Tendulkar.
