02-Aug-2001A brilliant maiden 100 by all-rounder Virender Shewag in the crucialone-day league match of the Coca-Cola Cup tri-series against NewZealand, was not enough to earn him a place in the Test squadannounced by the selectors in Mumbai today.Even as Shewag blazed away to the 68-ball century, the sixth fastestin one-day internationals, the selectors did not pick him in the 16-member team for the three Test series against Sri Lanka starting onAugust 14 at Galle.”One-day cricket is entirely dfferent from Tests,” reasoned BCCIsecretary and selection committee convenor JY Lele when contactedlater.”Shewag was included in the Indian team purely as a one-day player. Atany cost this century is not going to help him make it to the Testsquad,” he said.
