“We understand the quality of all our players and what they bring to us. But Virat Kohli opening is an option for us, we will always keep that in mind.

It is always nice to have options available for you. It is important going into a World Cup that you have flexibility. You want the players to be in best shape batting at any position. When we try and do something new, that does not mean that’s a problem,” he added.
