Srikkanth refuses to react on Yusufs comments

National chief selector K Srikkanth on Monday refused to react on Yusuf Pathans reported comments on his younger brother Irfans omission from the Champions Trophy probables.

All rounder Yusuf was quoted as saying by a national daily that Irfan was not ignored just for cricketing reasons. Srikkanth refused to be drawn into the controversy saying I dont want to comment. According to the report Yusuf believed that Irfan was playing well and his form was not the only reason for his exclusion.

Former paceman and national selector Madan Lal feels Irfan should have been included in the side. Irfan should have been there in the 30 probables as he is the only one all rounder we have. When players are out of form8230; the captain,coach and team should support him. You have to give him confidence, Lal said.
