Ajit Agarkar has joined lately so I’ve tried to keep him streamlined. We want this platoon to have players who can club at all positions. Critical for all platoon India. This is the communication we’ve tried to convey to all the players. It’s not club justice. Players playing for India have to be prepared for all situations. We do not want to be hindered or wedged. All 7- 8 fur positions are open to all.

It’s not about just one position. All positions are important. We’ve had injuries along the lines is the reason we demanded to manage that cargo. We need to figure what combination suits. Want to give all players a chance. We’ve 9 Odis and 2 practice games before World Cup. So want to give boys a chance for them to make that position there own.
