HAVE ENOUGH AMMUNITION FOR THE WORLD CUP, SAYS SHASTRI

-

India are a flexible side with enough ammunition in their arsenal going into the World Cup, says head coach Ravi Shastri, making it clear that combinatio­ns would depend on conditions. When Vijay Shankar was picked in the 15-man squad, it was assumed that the Tamil Nadu all-rounder could bat at the crucial number four position but Shastri said there were many options for that slot. “We are a flexible team. It’s horses for courses, we have got enough ammunition. We have got enough players who can bat at 4. So, I am not really worried about that,” Shastri said. “I think we have got all bases covered. Last thing you want is passengers on the tour. You want to have in those 15 players ... who can play anytime, at any given time.”
