Weather permitting, their opening game against Ireland might not stretch them too much, but after the horrors of the World Cup, Rahul Dravid and his team just cannot afford to take anything lightly.
The return of Sourav Ganguly at the top of the order gives the Indian batting a formidable look with Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh settled in the middle order.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who now has the additional responsibility of being the vice-captain, can look to open up his shoulders against the lesser lights.
S Sreesanth and Ajit Agarkar are vying for a place in the pace department along with Rudra Pratap Singh while Ramesh Powar will be the lone spinner in the side.
Ganguly too has expressed his desire to slip in a few overs for the side.
