The ex-selector said this step was taken for the sake of Indian cricket. Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim on Friday said that the previous selection committee, which he was part of, had taken some tough decisions in order to take the country's cricket forward. But after winning the 2011 World Cup, India had lost a few series. We chose to select players who had high fitness levels, besides talent and skills, and slowly included them in the team. And eventually we met our goal of becoming number one in Tests, ODIs as well as Twenty20 cricket," the former cricketer said.
