\nIndia coach Ravi Shastri on Thursday said there won\u2019t be any more \u201cchopping and changing\u201d with the ODI side with just 13 matches remaining before the opening World Cup game against South Africa on June 5.<\/p>\n
Shastri indicated that from now on, they will be playing around those 15 players, who are going to board the UK bound flight. \u201cWe will try to play (those) 15, who will go to the World Cup. Chopping and changing is over now. The grace period is over now,\u201d Shastri made it clear during the pre-departure press conference ahead of the Australian tour.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow is the time to really get focussed and play as a unit and then hopefully not have too many injuries, so that we don\u2019t have to look elsewhere and take it from there.
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have too many games now. We have 13 games, so we will look to play the best team at all times,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The 13 games include three-match away series against Australia followed by five-match series against New Zealand and then a return five-match series against Australia at home early next year.<\/p>\n
India will play a four-match Test series beginning on December 6 at Adelaide and Shastri said that the visitors will have to learn from their experience in South Africa and England to challenge Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see a lot of progress across all formats and I say that in spite of the (series) score line in England. When you look at actual performances in conditions that are foreign to us, we are more than happy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
