Indeed its an act in the direction of progress to drop Sachin. The team no way depends on the master batsman. it wil present an oppurtunity for the rest of the men to prove it so.
Youngsters like Badani, Das, Mongia should be given a long run for themselves to prove themselves.
A crickter like Yuvraj needs proper moulding. He in correct hands when the team think tank consists of men like Wright.
The bowling department will be no way be affected by the departure of Sachin.
One huge psychological advantage the guys will have is the oppositon is playing with the knowledge that Sachin is not there. Remember the Toronto tourney of 97 when we went with a couple of rookies for pace and we won. That was because they play care free cricket and and they have nothing lose by form of repute.
Lets hope the rotation basis that is mooted for pacemen in India is followed for the leading middle order batsmen.
