No major changes for 2nd Test: Wright

"I do feel for youngsters, but you have to put a value on the India cap," the coach said.

Coach John Wright on Wednesday ruled out any major changes in the Indian team for the second cricket Test against Bangladesh, pouring cold water on the hopes of youngsters who were looking to make the grade against the minnows.

"There are a few youngsters in the team but the players must remember that they represent India and have to win their places," Wright said after a full practice session at the port city venue where the final Test begins on Friday.

The New Zealander's statement was in contradiction to skipper Sourav Ganguly who had hinted at giving youngsters a look-in after his side registered a huge win in the first Test earlier this week.

Wright was forthright in his disagreement with the opinion.

"I do feel for (Mohammad) Kaif and (Murali) Kartik who have done well against a tougher opposition. It is tough on them. And the others in the squad, who are learning about being on tour with the Indian team, have shown great attitude and work ethics.
