Dravid expressed grief over the demise of Rajesh Sawant, who was the team's physical trainer. England may be different. "The Test team might be very different. From my perspective,


it is a bit disappointing for the guys who missed out, they performed in U-19, (but) they could not play the Asia Cup because of the age thing. So, I would love to give them some games and


an opportunities well." Meanwhile, Dravid expressed grief over the demise of Rajesh Sawant, who was the team's physical trainer. Sawant passed away in a Mumbai hotel on Sunday.


"It was shocking and it's really said. Rajesh, I did not know him very well, he just joined the team recently, but he was so excited about joining Indian team and (being) part of


Indian U-19 team. I was sort of having a few conversations with him around because he had taken over," he said. "So, I was having a conversation with him (Sawant) just a day before


that, playing that game, sitting and talking to him about it. It is shocking and my thoughts are with his family." "He (Rajesh) was liked so much in Mumbai cricket. Sad, (He was


a) good man. It was tough couple of days, I have never experienced like that. Credit to these boys and I told them that to come out and play that next day was an absolute credit to them, not


easy for us to come out and play that last game (at Wankhede stadium) honestly. "Real credit to all of them that they came out and played inspite of so many thoughts going in the mind.


I don't think many of them slept that night. I still don't know how to react, it's one of the tough (times), all we can do is hope his soul rests in peace," Dravid said.
