India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly said vice-captain Rahul Dravid will keep wickets in the fourth one-day international against Zimbabwe in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Speaking to newsmen on Friday afternoon, Ganguly said it was decided that Dravid
would keep wickets so that all-rounders can be accommodated for the crunch game.
Left-arm spinner Murli Kartik and left-hand batsman Yuvraj Singh will play in place of Sarandeep
Singh and wicketkeeper Ajay Ratra.
"It is good we have all-rounders. All the three have performed well and it is good opportunity for them. I hope they will utilize the chance and perform well," he observed.
Asked about India suffering five defeats in eight matches at home, Ganguly said, "Yes, it is a worrying factor and it should be looked into. No team likes to lose that many matches. We are trying to overcome our shortcomings."
