He also added that he does not see many changes happening to the squad for the World cup later this year in Australia.

The batting coach also said that the pitches on foreign soil are getting even, and added that having the 'A' team on the tour helps if the senior side is bogged down by injuries.
"The foreign pitches are getting even and even. the amount of cricket these guys are playing, they are adjusting beautifully. It is more about the adjustment in the mindset. Whatever we get, we are going to take it on," Rathour said.
"That helps a lot. In case of any injuries, you know that the A team is here, so you are in good stead. They are already acclimatised to the conditions," he added.
