Sports stars should not be dropped from their teams because of their behaviour off the pitch. The task of selectors is to select the best players, based solely on their potential for helping their team to win matches. The most talented sportspeople are rewarded very generously for their ability and achievements at a time of life when they are young enough to be able to enjoy partying and clubbing until the early hours of the morning. It is therefore unreasonable to blame them for enjoying those rewards and that lifestyle. Team selectors should not allow envy or nostalgia to bias them against young people who work hard and play hard.
