I think this is a good move by the BCCI... no ODI cricket for under-17 kids.

No ODI cricket for under 17

You're missing the point completely.
Under 17 guys are at a stage in their cricketing life when they can assimilate a lot of the basics that go into making up their technique. It is right , therefore to keep them away from soaking up any bad habits from one day cricket ( crossbatted shots, slogging , "containment bowling"as opposed to wicket taking bowling).
Once these bad habits are picked up it is very difficult to revert to good technique in 4 or 5 day cricket when they are older......It is a known fact that players become more rigid in their technique as they get older.
As for ' balancing the innings 'in odi cricket, they have the rest of their careers after the age of 17 to do pick up those points of the limited overs game.
Good test players make good odi players more often than good odi players trying to make it good in the test arena...
I see your point Orange but 50 over cricket does require some composure as well. If india do that u will find some great test players but u will find that one day players are only going to mature later. That may not be a bad thing.
I also think that some players aren't going to have the patients to play the longer form at a young age and it could turn them away from the game.

Mikey's certainly had a lot to say on this subject over the last few years.
His opinion has always seemed to be 'learn to bat first' - in other words, learn the techniques of defence, building an innings, 'proper' strokes and so on, then move on to the 'special case' which is one-day cricket (nudging, nurdling, rotating the strike, having a waft).
It's strange, when you think about it. When we start playing the game as kids, it's always limited-overs cricket first.

I'm intrigued as to what this means for age-group development at U11-U15 level etc.
Here we play either pairs/inter cricket or 20 overs a side in the local leagues and then 40-50 overs at county level, what's it like elsewhere?

Ok, during the Australia 'A' series, 'keeper Ryan Campbell would often get on his knees and scoop a full length ball up over the wicket keeper's head for four. You cant coach it, but it can be a anoying for the captain and bowler, here the bowler is pitching it up on the stumps, and the batsmen is hitting it over 'keepers head with no fieldsmen.
