We will not experiment in series against NZ: MS Dhoni

Napier: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today ruled out experimenting too much with his settled team in the series against New Zealand but said the five-match rubber should serve as a good exposure to some of his players before the World Cup.

Since Yuvraj Singh is not in the side, there is question mark over the number four spot in the batting order. Dhoni was non-committal about Suresh Raina coming up the order, a role he did not perform with much success against Australia in October.

“We will see what suits us best and then we will move ahead. As of now, after the Greg Chappell era, experimentation is something we have done away with. We don’t really change too many things anymore. We will give chances to a few players and hopefully they will rise up to the occasion and accept the challenges that they are pushed into,” Dhoni said ahead of the series-opener tomorrow.

Dhoni said the series would be a good for experience since the World Cup will be hosted jointly by Australia and New Zealand.
