I take your point, but I think you (or India's selectors) have underrated Chanderpaul. He should make their (or anyone's) test team, and is currently the second-ranked ODI batsman in the world and cricketer of the year. Presumably if Dravid is playing he opens, which means Chanderpaul is still picked over Gambhir and Raina.

He's had a rubbish tour, though, and India are probably pretty happy with their one-day side at the moment. So granted they wouldn't take him right this minute, were he unexpectedly ruled eligible through a grandparent.
