To beat Sri Lanka, India is making their team strong by including some experienced players in the declared team where banned Harbhajan Singh, injured Sachin Tendukar and cool man Rahul Dravid and VVS Luxman. All the selection committee members thought to declare the team with the news and young players. But the equation has been changed totally after the Asia Cup Cricket.

The clamour for the expected retention of seniors Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and V V S Laxman in the Test squad led by Anil Kumble has gone up after the one-day team's failure to clinch both the tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan that ended yesterday.

The out of Rahul Drabid and Sourav Ganguly were obviously wrong. In Australian first innings, when Andrew Symonds was on 48, then he was stamping by Dhoni. The umpire Steve Bucknor declared him not out. In that match, there has been taken a protest against Harbhajan Singh for saying ‘monkey’ to Andrew Symonds. However, Harbhajan has refused this objection. And the umpires also didn’t hear this word.
