Dravid won't be keeping: Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly reaffirmed that Dravid won't be handed any additional duties on Thursday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is set for his India debut as captain Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday reaffirmed that the team would not go back to Rahul Dravid to take up the additional role of wicketkeeper in the one-day series against Bangladesh.
"Dravid won't be keeping," Ganguly said on the eve of the first One-Day International at the MA Aziz stadium.
The second and third one-dayers were to be played under lights in Dhaka on Sunday and Monday.
Ganguly said although the playing eleven was yet to be finalised, the team management has decided to rotate the seniors in the side so that the youngsters get a chance in the series.
"All the youngsters on the tour will get to play in the three games. They will swap around the seniors in the team," he said.
"Senior members like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar will be rotated alongwith the newcomers in the side.
"We will decide on whom to play in each match based on the right combination, after deciding whom to rest and such things."
Ganguly said Harbhajan Singh's reported suspect bowling action would not affect the team in anyway.
"There is nothing special about it. Harbhajan had a talk with the Board who has taken up the matter now. Several bowlers have been reported in the past, it is not a major threat."
