Apart from the performance of the players for the Indian team, their injury and fitness also remain the biggest problem, in such a situation, a lot of changes are expected in Indian cricket along with new selectors in the coming time. The head coach of the team, Rahul Dravid has also pointed this out now.
After the 5-run defeat and series loss in the second ODI against Bangladesh, Dravid said in the press conference that from our point of view it has not been so easy to play. We didn't have the full team. We are hopeful that from January we will get the full squad to play the home series, but it will depend on the injuries. We have nine ODIs (three against New Zealand, three against Sri Lanka and three against Australia) before the IPL and hope that we get a stable team for these matches. Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid believes that from January, there is every possibility that India will have a 'full strength' ODI team which will play continuously for the next eight-nine months till the World Cup to be held in October-November.
India's ODI performances have been disappointing, including back-to-back series losses against New Zealand and Bangladesh. In this, due to workload management, a very different team was fielded. When asked whether batting and bowling are becoming a problem in the middle overs, Dravid said that the absence of the entire team has not been easy. He said that in the last two years, we were giving a lot of priority to T20 because there were two World Cups to play. In the next eight-ten months, our priority will be ODI cricket. Adapting to formats is not that easy. He also said that our white-ball specialists will get some rest as Test matches will be played.
