Could this be the beginning of a comeback or is this the way that BCCI is forcing Dravid to retire from ODIs by giving him a farewell tournament??
A few months back, the clamour was for young legs, quick speed etc.. In that clamour, they forgot that Dravid is one of the fittest in the team. Dravid provided a stability in the middle order, which was grossly missed later. I strongly,firmly believe that Dravid has atleast 2-3 years of ODI left in him. (Pls note I am not even counting his Test years left :))
Now, BCCI usually dont think of the 'seniors' in the team in very favourable terms. So I am looking at this announcement with every bit of skepticism as is humanly possible. Is Dravid BCCI's armguard against the 'latest' rediscovered weakness of the Indian youngsters? Now that the earlier self-assured image of Dhoni is flickering, will the new slightly-imperfect Dhoni accept the presence of Dravid in the team? Will he get to play in any match even if he is selected in the final 15?
Too many questions.. I will wait till the final team is selected and till the Champions Trophy is played for finding out the answers.
