- Summary: NEW DELHI, INDIA (DECEMBER 14, 2005) (ANI) KIRAN MORE, INDIAN SELECTOR, ADDRESSING A NEWS CONFERENCE /REPORTERS SITTING (SOUNDBITE) (English) KIRAN MORE, INDIAN CRICKET SELECTOR, SAYING: "The situation is that I don't want to have Saurav in the team. At number six Yuvraj is going to play. Looking at Yuvraj he has been consistent quite a lot in the Sri Lanka series or Zimbabwe. He has done very well. Looking into this area that you put Saurav and putting him in the reserve, it is not done at all. So that's how we looked into it, all the selectors, we felt that we give more opportunity to Yuvraj Singh and Pakistan series as well."
