"Cheteshwar Pujara is the backbone of this team” - Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan said that Pujara is the back bone of the team in teh longest format of the game and he should be given some respec as he has played over 100 Tests. He said: "I hope it is a rest given to him rather than getting him dropped. A player who has played 100 Test matches should get the respect he deserves. I hope the selectors have talked to him and discussed the further roadmap with him."

"Cheteshwar Pujara is the backbone of this team, and if you are dropping him then the figures of other batters in the last two years aren’t that strong enough. These tough calls should be same for everyone, no matter how big player he is. If you don’t consider Cheteshwar Pujara a big player then for me, other players are not that great," he added.

He also claimed that in spite of Rohit Sharma, the ODI team for the WI tour should have gone under Hardik Pandya’s guidance. Harbhajan said: “I felt that the One-Day team should have gone only under Hardik Pandya’s narrative with a new team. The youngsters, who performed well in the IPL, should have got a chance here. This was the best chance to groom them. Maybe, they are playing this (selected) team considering the World Cup.”
