Top Players In Duleep Trophy

7 of the 14 Indian players named in the Test Squad are playing in the Duleep Trophy Games starting today (incidentally all 7 are playing in the same game - 5 for The North and 2 for The South) and that can only be good signs. Finally the players are beginning to value domestic cricket and play with pride for their zonal teams as the Aussies do.

The absentees are Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble - I suppose they could be excused - they are certainties in any Indian Test lineup and would look to have a little break before the Tests start. After all, they did play in the last game against the West.
