Team India went in with a risky combination of five batters, three all-rounders and three proper pacers for the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Assistant coach Abhishek Nayar spoke about all the changes India made for the crucial encounter.
Team India had decided to scrap their intra-squad game at the expense of match simulation at the WACA in Perth. The conditions at the WACA are expected to provide Team India the much-needed help in adjusting to the bouncy conditions at the Optus Stadium.
India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed a media briefing ahead of the team's departure to Sri Lanka for the six-match white-ball series. The new head coach also confirmed the support staff for the tour, which included two assistant coaches.
Abhishek Nayar also played three ODIs for India under M.S. Dhoni in 2009, but couldn't pick up a wicket or score a run.
Nayar said Karthik could be India's answer for the debatable No 4 spot and can even open if needed.
