Vaughan Dropped for India Tour!

Michael Vaughan has been dropped from the England Test side for the India series. He has planned to take a three-month break from international cricket, sources said.

Michael has not been selected for the tour of India because his place in the Test squad cannot be justified based on recent form," said England and Wales Cricket Board national selector Geoff Miller. "Our view is that it will be to England's benefit if he takes a break from international cricket in the period leading up to Christmas and spends time working on his game," he added.

The team selection was delayed a little bit giving time for Vaughan to prove his form. The team was announced after the county games, but he was not able to score runs as expected and hence was omitted from the team. He scored just 41 runs from four innings that he played for Yorkshire.

Let us hope that this stylish batsman will return to his form and gain the place in national team! All the best Vaughan!

Two More Years Left in Me: Ganguly

Famous for bouncing back, the Prince of Kolkata, said in clear terms that he has left at least two years of cricket in him. He will not hang his boots until then.

He said, the senior players have understood that the ODI is more for younger players. Looks like he has realized that the doors are shut for the ODI. But, he is sure that test cricket and T20 is still left in him for at least 2 years.

"I would like to think I have a couple of years left," Ganguly said when asked if he would miss cricket once he quits the game.

"But I won't say I'll miss touring. I'll miss the cricket we play the satisfaction you get from scoring a century or from winning a Test," the left-hander told 'The Sun' today.

He further added that, he misses the one-day game but the older players understand we won't be playing in the 2011 World Cup. So now it is time for the young players to get match experience.

"So I will finish both IPL and Test cricket at the same at this stage of my career I am not playing for financial gain, it's all about the performance." he said.

"You want to finish with reputation in tact, not with people questioning your ability," he added.
