If you look carefully at the team that Team India had selected against the West Indies, it is understood that the entry of baseball was made in the Indian team from the selection itself. Cheteshwar Pujara was not selected in the team for this Test series. Questions have often been raised about his batting style. Pujara is a traditional Test batsman. He plays only this format and it is rare that he makes the ball fly. But there is no place for this type of batting in England’s baseball cricket. For this reason Pujara was dropped. Although, the recent form was also a reason for his exclusion from the team, but baseball cricket has a big hand in his drop from the team. -AP
