But we cannot take our chances as we have to try out other people, so that in a worst case scenario they have game-time behind them.”

“Surya is a really good player; there is no doubt about it, his performance has shown that. Unfortunately, I think he would also be the first one to admit that his ODI (skills) have not been up to his own high standards that he has set in T20s. He is also learning one-day cricket. He is a good player, and we want to give him as many opportunities as we can and then it is up to him to take those opportunities,” Dravid added.
“I think Ishan has done really well, again, he is taking the opportunities when he has been given a chance, and that is what we want from young players.”
