Dravid dropped from India's one-day squad; Sehwag is back
Oct 27, 2007
Former captain Rahul Dravid was dropped and his former deputy Virender Sehwag was recalled to the 15-member Indian One-day squad for the first two matches of the upcoming cricket series against arch-rivals Pakistan.
"We haven't spoken to him yet. We wanted to give him a break for a while," was how the India Chief Selector Dilip Vengsarkar responded to the media while talking about the decision to drop the 34-year-old Dravid, who struggled for runs right through the recent ODI series against Australia. He also added the selection committee had consulted captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni over telephone before finalising the squad for the first two matches to be held in Guwahati (November 5) and Mohali (November 8).
Left-handed opener Gautam Gambhir, who missed the last four matches in the series against Australia because of an injury, expectedly made a comeback in place of S Badrinath, while Uttar Pradesh paceman Praveen Kumar was the lone new face.
India Team against Pakistan: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Irfan Pathan, S Sreesanth and Praveen Kumar.

India cricket fans charged for racial taunts targeting Australian Symonds
Oct 18, 2007
Four Indian cricket fans will face court for allegedly racially taunting Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds by making monkey gestures, a police official said Thursday.
The four spectators were evicted from the one-day international match in Mumbai on Wednesday after cricket officials showed to police photographs of them making the gestures as Symonds — of Caribbean origin — came to bat, police officer Sunil Zende said.
The fans, which included one woman, were charged with harassment and misbehavior and released after a paying a 1,200-rupee (US$30, €21) bail. They will have to appear in court later to face charges, Zende said.
Indian and Australian cricket officials issued a joint statement condemning racial taunts.
"There is no place for racism in cricket either on or off the field," said the statement by Sharad Pawar, India's top cricket official, and Creagh O'Connor, his Australian counterpart. "All cricket nations have to be on guard to ensure that the fun does not cross the boundary into unacceptable behavior."
Australian players said fans in western India also made monkey noises targeted at Symonds last week, but Indian cricket officials dismissed those allegations.
"It was difficult to pick out monkey sounds in a noisy cricket stadium," Ratnakar Shetty, an Indian cricket official, told the Indian Express newspaper on Wednesday.
Shetty and other cricket officials suggested Indian fans might have targeted Symonds because of his heated exchanges with Indian bowlers Harbhajan Singh and Shantakumaran Sreesanth.
But during Wednesday's match, the taunts were caught by photographers, said Zende.
