Dravid8217;s omission a 8216;unanimous8217; decision, says selector

But, a selector said that the former captain would get a chance in the remaining matches of the five-match series.

8220;Leaving out Dravid was a unanimous decision. We felt he needed a break so that we get a chance to groom the youngsters,8221; a national selector told PTI on condition of anonymity.

He said other senior players like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly would also be given short breaks during the upcoming series.

8220;Our idea is that two seniors will play at a time so that the young players can slowly get a chance to be with the team.

It will be unfair on the young players if we choose them for a tough away series against Australia.

8220;This is something we have thought out well and much should not be read into Dravid being left out,8221; he said.
