The commander of the young squad claims that his players are well-tuned after playing the Ranji Trophy tournament, anticipating that they will carry their form to the international fixture as well.
Sehwag is of the view that if the youngsters succeed in delivering some match-winning performances, they will be able to cement their places in the team.
Talking to the media today, ahead of the opening game, the acting captain said, “All the players are in fine form, having scored a good amount of runs in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy. It's a good sign for Team India and I hope the youngsters play the same way with Team
India. We have a very good young side. It's good for youngsters they are getting opportunities.”
He further told, “They have five games to show their skills. If they perform well we can continue fielding a young side. We are pretty confident of doing well. I promise that we will give our best. If we can put more than 100% the results will show."
Despite Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s 2-0 triumph in the recently-concluded Test series, Sehwag is not going to take the Windies lightly, as he opines that the tourists are a good side. Moreover, he asserts that any team can be beaten any time in the 50-over format.
On the other hand, the Caribbean are keen to capitalise on the absence of the senior players of the home team to win the series.
However, Sehwag is confident that the Men in Blue will play to their potential and give 100% on the field. The 33-year-old right-handed batsman is the mainstay of his team’s batting department.
