Decision to field first in 1996 WC semis stunned me: Kambli

Former cricketer Vinod Kambli on Friday raised suspicion on the 1996 World Cup semi-final between India and Sri Lanka and said he found "something amiss" in the game, a claim which came in for sharp criticism from Sourav Ganguly.

Kambli, who scored 1084 runs in 17 Tests and 2477 runs in 104 ODIs for India, said he was suspicious of then captain Mohammed Azharuddin's decision to field first in the semi-final which was eventually awarded to Sri Lanka because of crowd problem.

Why Yuvraj was dropped from the Test squad. Figure it out!

Yuvraj Singh's Test comeback was again short lived, as the selectors dropped him from the team for the third and final Test against the West Indies, in Mumbai, beginning next week.

The experienced Punjab left-hander made way for Mumbai youngster Rohit Sharma, who himself has battled for consistency since making it to the international stage.

With the all-important tour of Australia coming up next month, the selectors have sent out a loud and clear message that Yuvraj does not fall into their scheme of things as far as Test cricket is concerned.
