Lauding continuity in selection

The Indian team for the test series with South Africa has been announced and Indian selectors have chosen an expected squad. What has impressed me most of the current selection committee under Dilip Vengsarkar has been their consistency. By choosing Wasim Jaffer and Yuvraj Singh they have ensured continuity in selection. A pity Ishant Sharma is injured but I guess its better he is rested for couple of tests as he had maximum workload among the bowlers. Preference of Murali Kartik over Piyush Chawla is also a good move. With Kumble in the twilight of his career, it would be a good opportunity for Murali Kartik (should he play) to establish himself as a successor to the legend.

Watch out for the preview of test series in a few days time.
