Anirban, you posted after 17 years in this forum? That’s some restraint in an addictive forum like this for us passionate members.

Umesh, Bhopi has got nothing to give to India. Picking them is waste for the franchise I thought about this too but concluded that it’s not franchises’ objective to facilitate Indian team selections.

I wanted to but didn’t post that I saw Ankita losing this when I read about her Thai opponent and playing in Japan. And, m...

This is Neeraj.
