Tendulkar and the future of the Indian test cricket team

Sambit Bal has summed up the Tendulkar situation very nicely in his article on espncricinfo today: "The team to play the next Test for India needs to be picked not merely with the next series in mind but the next season. The Tendulkar question will hang heavy, but it will be, as has been suggested widely, unfair to leave the answer to him. Indian cricket owes him gratitude, but not the burden of a perpetual debt.".

India will play Australia at home next, but then they have to tour South Africa, New Zealand, and England. If they want to be competitive on these tours, they better start rebuilding now.

Over to the BCCI to make some tough calls now.
