Despite their winning streak being snapped in Ahmedabad, India is likely to continue to experiment and test their young guns as they go into the inconsequential sixth one-dayer against Sri Lanka in Rajkot on Wednesday.The hosts have already drawn some positives from their loss in Ahmedabad and it appears unlikely that they will deviate from their stated policy of providing rookies as many opportunities as possible in the run-up to the 2007 World Cup. The hosts rested key players, including Sachin Tendulkar, in the last match but both the captain and coach asserted after the loss that the performance of the newcomers was heartening and the benefits for Indian cricket would come in the long run. "Look, we need to balance between winning and experimenting ... Had we won with this young side, the benefit for Indian cricket in the next 12-18 months would have been huge," Chappell had said in Ahmedabad. "You can't get that experience unless you let them (the youngsters) make mistakes. We must be prepared to take that risk, so that we give ourselves a chance of winning the World Cup 2007," he added. Dravid said that with the series clinched, the remaining matches were a chance to try out the youngsters. in-depth coverage > India-Sri Lanka Series 2005 > |
