Former India cricketer Kirti Azad feels Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid should be dropped from the Irani Trophy.

Azad was reacting to queries after Sourav Ganguly was dropped from the Rest of India squad for the tie against Delhi.

Azad reckoned the selectors discriminated against Sourav Ganguly by ignoring him for the Irani Trophy while retainin Tendulkar and Dravid, who were equally poor in the Sri Lanka tour.

"The decision to drop Ganguly itself is not wrong as his form in recent time has not been impressive. But the question is why the same treatment shouldn't be given to Rahul and Sachin, who are out of form as well," Azad said.

Azad added he thought Virender Sehwag and not MS Dhoni should take over from Anil Kumble to lead the Test side.

"Dhoni is having a good run and has the capability as well. But he should not be given the responsibility in Test cricket right now.

"Though the entire thing depends on selectors, in my opinion Sehwag should be considered before thinking about Dhoni," he said.
