"Six matches are too many, especially when we have an important tour of New Zealand soon after the current tour of India, Fletcher told reporters in Mumbai. "It is too taxing on the players with all the travel one has to do in a vast country like India", he added. Fletcher, who was confident that his team would level the series with a win in Mumbai in the sixth and final one-dayer on Sunday, said it would be a moral victory for his team if they square the series. "We came here as an inexperienced team but did well to draw the last two Test matches after losing the first. Even in the one-day series we were trailing 1-3 and did well to win the Delhi tie. Hence a win here would be moral victory for the whole team", Fletcher said. "I feel the tour of India will definitely benefit the youngsters in the side. Raw and young guys have come here and we are trying to make a winning side out of them. For that we will have to put the puzzle together and form a picture", the England coach said. Fletcher, who said he would not mind his team being tagged "underdogs", said whenever we have been called so we have done well. "We were underdogs against Zimbabwe and the West Indies and we did well. Again we were underdogs on the tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka and did very well there too and I hope we will do well here as well", Fletcher added. in-depth coverage > India England Cricket Series > |
