Indian cricket captain Rahul Dravid today sent out an ominous warning to his rivals ahead of the tri-series, saying his team had the resources and variety to counter different conditions in Sri Lanka. The team left for Sri Lanka from here in the afternoon after the flight was delayed by 35 minutes. Saurav Ganguly, whose ban has still not been lifted by the ICC, did not join the team. Dravid said the composition of the team will provide a lot more selection options during the tournament which will also give him the opportunity to try out a few youngsters. “The composition of the team give us the option to play whatever combination we like. We do have two specialist spinners in Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. If the conditions permit, we might play both of them or it will be three medium pacers and a spinner,” Dravid told a press conference before the team’s departure to Colombo. He said he had devised a few strategies for the tournament but was reluctant to discuss it with the media. “I do not want to reveal about what the side will be and which pair will open the batting for us. We have more or less set our ideas but I am not going to give it out to the media right away,” he said.
