Whether it's due to poor workload management, injuries to important players, prioritizing a specific format over a longer-term objective, or just a simple lack of reasoning, Indian cricket has been characterized by inconsistent selection practises over the past few years. Every time a side for a specific format is revealed, some players unexpectedly return, while others are left out with little explanation. Most of the time, it's because of issues with managing workload or injuries, but occasionally, one is left scratching his head. Consider India's team for the three-match Twenty20 International series that begins on January 11 against Afghanistan.
