yes,because he has the ability to perform well in overseas than
other players.
At his sublime best, VVS Laxman is a sight for the gods. Wristy, willowy and sinuous, he can match - sometimes even better - Tendulkar for strokeplay. His on-side game is comparable to his idol Azharuddin's, and yet he is decidedly more assured on the off side, and has the rare gift of being able to hit the same ball to either side. The Australians, who have suffered more than most, paid the highest compliment after India's 2003-04 tour Down Under by admitting they did not know where to bowl to him. Laxman, a one-time medical student, finally showed signs of coming to terms with his considerable gifts in March 2001, as he tormented Steve Waugh's thought-to-be-invincible Australians with a majestic 281 to stand the Kolkata Test on its head. But even though he had another wonderful series against the Australians in 2004-05 with two centuries, one of them involving back-from-the-dead, match-winning, 300-plus partnership with Kolkata ally Rahul Dravid at Adelaide, he hasn't quite managed the consistency that could have turned him into a batting great. Between dazzling and sometimes workmanlike hundreds, he has suffered frustrations of numerous twenties and thirties, and has struggled to hold his place in the one-day side. He has never made a secret of his acute disappointment at missing out on the World Cup in 2003, but has now reconciled to his confinement to the five-day arena, where he is no longer an automatic choice when India decide to play five batsmen. A match-saving century at St Kitts, his tenth, should help though.he had a very good perfomance in oneday series against pakistan he hit 2 centuries in that series

Laxman is more of a classy batsman. He is the best player for test matches. But now a days, ODIs demand for all rounders and orthodox players. You don't have to follow batting rules in ODIs.

And looking at his age, I think he should be preserved for test matches.

He is eligible but the compition for middle order is very high
Well Laxman is a great to watch sometimes but not always.
The world cup squad may be filled up before his name comes into recognition.

if yuvraj fails to improve his fitness,laxman will be an option for the selectors.india needs every bit of experience if they wants to win this world cup.that is where laxman becomes a key player in this squad

no he should not get a place in worldcup or odi matches or 20/20 game why because he is not an allrounder the person who knows well about fielding ,bowling and batting is eligible for selection and to be correct he don't know how to hit sixes cleanly, properly and powerfully so he is unfit i think u got my point clearly i mean selectors should and must always look for allrounders fully

Yuvi is out with an injury we dont no how well he will come back and what kind of form he will be in.that can leave our middle order high and dry so we should have laxman as backup plan.

No. He is a very good test player. But, he is too slow in ODIs. Instead of picking him up, its better to have an allrounder in the team.
