While cricket fans have criticized India head coach Rahul Dravid for frequent changes to the lineup leading up to the World Cup, Friday will be the day they would want him to change things up a bit.
With India having already booked their place in the final of the Asia Cup, their Super Four clash against Bangladesh at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, may appear only of academic interest. However, they are set to meet again in Pune on October 19 in the World Cup and important brownie points are there to be scored ahead of that clash. India also have a few scores to settle against their eastern neighbours, having lost 1-2 in the bilateral series there in December last year.
