Dravid takes on Desai for Sehwag MIL/Agencies, Feb 7, 2007. New Delhi, February 07, 2007 - Indian captain Rahul Dravid on Wednesday took BCCI manager Chetan Desai head on and said the authenticity of the report he had apparently filed to the board president needed to be checked. "Anyone can put out a report. I have read cricketing history and Desai's name does not figure anywhere", said Rahul at a pre-series press conference in Kolkata, playing down the importance of Desai, who is associated with the Goa Cricket Association, as per indiatimes cricket. Desai had purportedly filed a report highlighting the rift between Indian coach Greg Chappell and out-of-form batsman Virender Sehwag. When Viru clashed with Guru Greg The report had talked about Sehwag's growing indiscipline and his stand-off with the coach during the Indian team's tour of South Africa in December 2006. Dravid said Sehwag could play a crucial and important role in the Indian team and indicated he could be a key member of the Indian contingent for the World Cup next month. The Sri Lanka series will give Sehwag a chance to come back in form, the Indian skipper said, adding that the team is also looking forwarding to seeing him. Sehwag was dropped from the Indian squad against West Indies but has been brought back for the first two ODIs against visiting Sri Lanka, reportedly following a strong case by Dravid for the inclusion of his former deputy. On his come back, Dravid said selectors have certain views and ideas and these needed to be trusted.
