Rahul Dravid, the head coach of the Indian cricket team, stressed the significance of keeping the broader perspective in mind and preparing for the 2023 World Cup.
He explained that they will find a balance between offering opportunities to players and striving for victories, even if it entails resting senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
With the Asia Cup and World Cup on the horizon and injuries affecting the team, Dravid believes it’s crucial to provide game time to backup players such as Sanju Samson and Axar Patel.
