After the series, Dravid did not exclude anyone but did mention the purpose of sports awareness.

“South Africa, who batted first on two occasions, scored just 290 and 280. In the 30th over in both those games, I felt we should have chased them. We didn’t because we played some bad shots and we didn’t play smart cricket in serious conditions.
