‘India can do well in the West Indies’

NEW DELHI:


India’s newly-appointed coach Duncan Fletcher said the team has potential to perform well on its upcoming West Indies tour despite missing key players.


“There is a lot of talent in India,” said Fletcher.“India have a plan to stay at the top. This tour will show the depth of talent we have. But any team playing at home is difficult to beat so we should not be complacent.”

India are without Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Zaheer Khan, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh for the five-match one-day series.

“It’s a great opportunity for the youngsters and I hope they  do well,” said stand-in captain Suresh Raina.
