Rahul Dravid said this on playing XI

Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid said in the press conference before the Boxing Day Test, “I think we are very clear what kind of team (Playing XI) is going to play in the Boxing Day Test match. A batsman’s perspective From now on, I want to see it the same way, what will be the opposition’s bowling attack. What will be the team or how will they play. So I don’t want to reveal the team and inform the opposing team. It will be known to everyone in the morning.”

Dravid is confident of a fast bowling attack doing well in South African conditions. He said, “I definitely think we have got a great bowling attack this time, which includes some experienced bowlers. So we can do better here.”

Sometimes it is difficult to communicate with players – Dravid

Dravid said that if players are disappointed when they are not selected in the team, then it is a good thing, because it means that they care and also have the urge to play. He was asked what he had to say to senior players like Ishant Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane, who may be left out of the first Test. He said that most of the players are very professional. Sometimes one has to have difficult communication with the players. For example telling a player that he is not playing. It is very difficult because everyone wants to play.
