Dravid also insisted on trying different combinations before the tournament. Salman Butt is not liking this statement of Rahul Dravid.

Rahul Dravid had said, “Perhaps there are not going to be too many games in our conditions. We got a chance to play in these conditions, which are fantastic. Yes, coming out of IPL to a great extent, we are very clear about the kind of team and players we want. We have narrowed it down to 17-18 players.”

Salman Butt said, “Rahul Dravid said that he will keep trying different combinations. First win the series! Change is irrelevant. We have to see how you sort out your batting concerns first. All this talk about team combination… This is where the confusion begins. How much do you want to change?”

Salman Butt also said that the Indian coach’s focus should be on the third ODI and how to win it and he should have avoided questions about the World Cup. Salman Butt said, “At this point all the conversation should be on the third ODI and how to win it. If someone asks another question, you can say that it has nothing to do with the match. He has talked a lot about the combination, this should not happen again and again.
