We Used Different Players:-
It is unfortunate that all three players got injured in two months. That’s why we had to experiment continuously. So we used different players. We had to be ready for the World Cup.
We don’t know what is going to happen in the World Cup, that’s why we have given two or three players frequent chances in the middle order.
