In a curious case of mistaken identity that could cause serious embarrassment to national selectors, a Saurashtra Cricket Association official on Sunday claimed that little known Punjab player Ravi Inder Singh was thought to be prolific all-rounder Ravindrasinh Jadeja and got selected for the Challenger Trophy.<\/p>\n

One of the selectors … conceded that it’s a bloomer from their part but there was hardly any time to get it corrected.<\/p>\n

Ravi Inder played in Blue’s first match against the Red and scored 17 before being bowled by Laxmipathy Balaji.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This reminds me of the famous mix-up between JP Yadav and Jai P Yadav. And Abhijit Kale once reportedly missed out on selection (I forget whether it was for a Ranji team or a zonal team) because the then-selector Chandu Borde couldn’t remember his name. Borde was famous for mangling names, and had there been an Indian player named Gaurav Ganguly when Borde was chief selector, India might well have suddenly found itself a new captain. <\/p>\n
