I wasn146;t told why I was dropped: Kaif

Speaking his mind on the issue of getting ignored for the two home ODIs against the West Indies, Kaif went on to question the selectors8217; decision. 8220;In fact, I was doing quite well, but I was dropped and I don8217;t know why. I have been averaging in the 30s batting at No 6 and No 7,8221; the fielder extraordinaire explained in his defence.

Asked if he pondered what could be the reason behind the selectors8217; decision to leave him out, Kaif said: 8220;Ask the captain and the selectors, they should know, I can8217;t comment on that.8221;

When pointed that the failures in South Africa could have influenced the decision to keep him out of the ODI scheme of things, Kaif blamed on the think-tank8217;s ploy to bat him at No 3 in the one-dayers against the Proteas. 8220;When you are asked to bat at a new position, you need time to adjust to that, which was the No 3 position in my case,8221; Kaif said.

Kaif8217;s next task is to concentrate on the four Ranji Trophy one-dayers, and not just plan only for the World Cup. 8220;The World Cup is obviously important. But I want to keep things simple. I am planning for the immediate future, and focus now is the four Ranji one-dayers,8221; he explained.
