THE SELECTION of Charanjit Singh, the Punjab off spinner, to the Duleep Trophy, was indeed a wrong'un by the selectors. The spinner had just four wickets to his credit in the Ranji Trophy; and yet he was awarded a place in the North Zone squad. The reasoning for the selection, too, was equally baffling. "We don't have off spinners coming through, so we pushed him as he seemed to be the best on view," explained Bhupinder Singh (Sr), the national selector. Now, can someone ask the wise man if an off spinner is mandatory in the squad? If no, then why pick up someone who just didn't deserve to be there?
