Failure in all departments of the game has brought India on the brink of another Test defeat against England. After a disastrous Day Four at the Eden Gardens, an infuriated Sambaran Banerjee, former national selector and Bengal&rsquo;s Ranji Trophy-winning captain, called for at least three changes in the squad that will be announced today by the national selectors. <img alt="Sambaran Banerjee" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Sambaran.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 544px;" /> Sambaran Banerjee &ldquo;Ajinkya Rahane should come in place of Yuvraj Singh, who is a proven failure in the five-day format. Though not among runs, I feel Rohit Sharma, too, can walk into the squad. He has a sound technique to counter quality bowling. Ashok Dinda should also be given a chance at the expense of Ishant Sharma. Someone like Ishant has been given enough opportunities to perform,&rdquo; Banerjee said. &ldquo;I always felt that someone making a comeback should have done something extraordinary to find a place in the squad, which Ishant didn&rsquo;t. I am a little surprised that selectors still showed a lot of faith in him,&rdquo; he clarified.u00a0Banerjee lamented that the team was not even trying to put up a fight. &ldquo;This English side is far better than the Indian side in all aspects, but still, losing without even putting up a fight was the last thing expected,&rdquo; Banerjee told SUNDAY MiD DAY. <img alt="MS Dhoni" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/dhoni_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 464px;" /> Banerjee, a wicketkeeper himself, was also critical of skipper MS Dhoni&rsquo;s performance behind the stumps. &ldquo;What is he doing behind the stumps? He has conceded so many byes and his ball gathering is not perfect too. I think it&rsquo;s time for him (Dhoni) to hand over the gloves to someone younger like Wriddhiman Saha, who is a better wicketkeeper. Dhoni can lead the team as a specialist batsman as he has been scoring useful runs,&rdquo; he said.
