Ranji performance doesnt mean India call-up: Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar has said that a good performance in Ranji Trophy is no guarantee for a berth in the Indian side. A good performance in Ranji Trophy definitely helps you to be recognised by the selectors but it is not a sure-shot certainty that it is going to get you a berth in the Indian team because you also have to see the composition of the national squad,whether one fits into the selectors ideas and the captains ideas, Tendulkar said.

The competition is fierce and that is how it should be,you have got to have good tracks to play on and good oppositions,thats what raises the standard of playing, Tendulkar said.

If somebody performs against a good opposition,that performance has to be recognised and I am sure the selectors are trying their best to witness most of the matches. To have the top players playing in this tournament is a bonus.
