Mumbai, Feb 9:
The debacles of the past year and a half would weigh heavy on the national selectors when they meet here tomorrow to pick the squad for the eagerly-awaited Test series against Australia with the form of key players being a massive concern.
The challenge before the committee is to put together a winning team combination after three comprehensive series defeats against top opponents and players like Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina and S Sreesanth are among those hoping to earn a Test recall.
The successive whitewashes against England and Australia in away tours were somewhat offset by series wins at home over a lower-ranked West Indies and New Zealand.
However, the 1-2 reversal against England in their last rubber at home has caused concern about some senior players. (PTI)
