"Ahead of him there are some good picks, Kedar Jadhav, Ambati Rayudu, Jadeja, Bravo, Harbhajan fits in there as well, Karn Sharma, they can all hit. So again, looking at our sides, there a lot of multi-skilled players. There is a lot of options there," Fleming added.

He was also asked about the inclusion of Yo-Yo test for the team to which he answered "The yo-yo test.. No. It is very much into personal fitness. It is not the focus of the side.
