Is it right - Since he such great a player for the selectors to drop, it seems clear he will continue to play for the country. Or should I use too in place of such and why?
  

Top answer

Use 'too' and add 'is' after 'he'. - Since he is too great a player for the selectors to drop, it seems clear he will continue to play for the country. One reason is simply that it is never possible to say 'such great a player' Saying 'he is too good a player to drop' basically means that 'he is so good that it is not possible to drop him'.
