	Daily Excelsior.........sports
		Parthiv Patel, at 17 years and 158 days, today became the youngest ever wicket keeper to play in a cricket test match..........
		The odds were heavily stacked against Patel as team sources had earlier indicated that Ratra, with a century against his name in the West Indies, would be preferred over the former who stands just 5 feet 3 inches in his socks.
		But destiny had it otherwise as Patel got an opportunity to prove his mettle at such a tender age and given the fact that the national selectors have yet to find the right man to fill the wicketkeeper’s slot, it has thrown open the doors for the youngster.

		Parthiv Patel is of the young generation, I think the reason the selectors chose him and not Mongia is that he is younger, much like Geraint Jones of England, has lots of potential, just needs time to develop it.
		However, I do feel that when playing strong opposition like the Aussies, like the Saffies etc, you do need your best team, and if that means bringing in a 35 year old, then do it, so long as its to the benefit of the team.

		I am a bit disappointed about the manner in which I got out," Parthiv said adding that he was able to successfully negotiate the seaming ball on a green track.
