BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah today said that though the Board will not directly involve itself in this but was “concerned” about India’s failure and would want the selection committee to review the situation.“The board is definitely concerned by the performance, but it will not interfere,” Shah said. “It is up to the selection committee to review things. (But) the selection committee should not go only by the history of some players,” he added. “Consistent performance is important.” The focus, of course is on Virender Sehwag, who made just 89 runs from six Test innings. The 28-year-old Delhi batsman also failed in the one-dayers, raising the possibility of him being left out of the upcoming home one-day series against Windies and Lanka. Selectors meet on Friday to pick the 30 probables for the World Cup and the squad for the series with West Indies starting on January 21. India’s poor one-day form has also raised concerns in the build-up to the World Cup, starting on March 13.
