5 aspects addressed by Kohli & Shastri before the Australia tour

#2 No more chopping and changing in the ODI team

Indian team has been continuously chopped and changed off late.

Will MS Dhoni be a part of the World Cup? Who is India's number 4? Why is KL Rahul not playing? What is the perfect combination heading into the World Cup? - All these questions were continuously flying on top of people's heads during India's recent ODI series'.

There were criticisms of not having a stable eleven, of people not knowing what their role is in the team, and of players not being secured enough of their place in the side. Ravi Shastri addressed the issue by stating " As far as ODI cricket goes, we'll try and play close to a 15 that will go to the World Cup. Chopping and changing is over now".

"The period of rest is over. Now is the time to really get focused, play as a unit and hopefully not have too many injuries and take it from there. There are 8 games in the tour of Australia and New Zealand and 5 against Australia in India. So we'll try and play the best team at all times. "
