Its a problem. There's no good solution. And, personally, I suspect the Indian cricket team will die in a ditch over this, precisely because they do not want to die in a ditch.
WADA should simply classify the sports then. Cycling, athletics and swimming do need to test the players on a frequent basis. Cricket or chess don't need a great deal of off-competition testing.

Interesting to see that Munaf is listed among those who will be tested. He does look like one who eats steroids at all times of the day. Ishant should have been picked too.
