Ajit Agarkar was never an automatic choice to make it to the team. Even though Ashish Nehra pronounced himself fit for the tour, the physio made him stay back and go through the recovery process. Skipper Sourav Ganguly is convinced about Agarkar's abilities as a fast bowler. It was the backing of the captain and the team management that helped Agarkar find a place in the squad for the ODI series. Now it is up to the young man from Mumbai to deliver the goods. He is a slippery customer and the pace he can generate, can surprise the best of the batsmen in the world. If Agarkar calls up all his self-belief and every bit of motivation in him, he would save his international career.
