Ravindra Jadeja defends Team India’s experiments in the ODI series
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja defended Team India’s experimentations in the ODI series against West Indies. He shared that before the Asia Cup and the ICC ODI World Cup, they want to try out different combinations. He also added that this will give them an idea about the team balance. Speaking before the third ODI, Ravindra Jadeja said,
“This is the only series before the Asia Cup and World Cup where we can experiment and change the combination. We cannot do many experiments in the World Cup and Asia Cup. This will give us an idea about the balance of the team, the possible combination, and strengths. This (series) is a good chance to do that.”
