Anil kumble was worried as Dravid was sacked from the Indian team without a reason. He has been performing well. but he is not included in the side for the forth coming India Australia series. having scored more than ten thousand runs, undoubtedly he is one of thee favourite cricketer in India. The treatment to him is not justifiable.
"I don't know why they didn't continue with him," Kumble was quoted as saying by PA Sports. "It's a call that the selectors made. I don't think someone who has played that long, of that stature, should have been dropped in that way after having performed in the Champions Trophy.
"I certainly would have wanted him to continue but probably the selectors thought that he came as a replacement for Virender Sehwag and Sehwag was fit so he had to go, maybe that was the reason."
Dravid was recalled to the one-day squad after two years in August to strengthen the middle order for the Compaq Cup tri-series in Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy. Since his comeback, he has scored 14, 47, 39, 76 and 4 in five innings; the 39 came in a crucial 95-run opening stand in the Compaq Cup final, which India won. It was expected that Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh would come in for Dinesh Karthik and Virat Kohli, their original replacements, but the selectors showed faith in Kohli.
