We need a strong team that plays quality cricket. We will set high quality. We were close to beating the Indian team, but it did not happen. We have beaten England and Australia on this ground, but India is a tough team in this condition.

There is no need to teach the style of play to the players at the international level.” But it is necessary to review it after every game. The coach has to review the performance of every player.
