In this thread I would like people to comment on cricketers who were very harshly done by their own cricket boards and kept out of International cricket unfairly despite their performances being worthy of selection or in some instances exceptional. Dean Jones is an exceptional batsman who tore attacks apart with his explosive batting in both Test and one day cricket, however his cricket career was prematurely terminated by the ACB at the time. David Hookes although not possessing an exceptional average or strike rate as Jones was still considered better than some of the batsmen selected to play for Australia at that time. He was never given a chance to reach his full potential at Test level. They were both said to have been kept out of the Australian team, not for what they did on the field, but more for what they said off the field .
I can think of two Indian batsmen who have cause to feel thus. One is Vinod Kambli , who I have recently heard is playing in South African domestic cricket. The other is Ajay Jadeja, who was much maligned over match fixing scandals, and while the main accused in this continued playing, Jadeja lost his cricketing career.
Any Comments ? Am I wrong in saying what I said above ?

except for a couple of oustanding performances eg. double hundred in India.
