"The selection of any player was solely based on performance on the field," More, who was in the city to attend a function, told reporters.

On the current Indo-Pak series, he said it would be a challenge for the touring team management to pick the playing eleven and especially the openers.

More refused to comment on the alleged outburst of Indian team manager Raj Singh Dungarpur against Sourav Ganguly.
