Ravindra Jadeja said on Monday that the playing XI for the Asia Cup, beginning on August 30, has already been decided despite the experimentations in the ODI series against the West Indies.

“This is the series before the Asia Cup and World Cup, where we can experiment, we can try out new combinations. It will give us an idea about the team’s balance, strengths and weaknesses,” Jadeja said.

“Captain and team management know what combination they are going to play. There is no confusion at all. We have already decided what is going to be the combination in the Asia Cup... But it’s more about trying out a particular player in a batting position.

“We are trying different combinations. We can try different batters at different position. This is the series where we can afford to chop and change. Young players also need that international experience,” he said.

Jadeja dismissed suggestions that the team was becoming ‘arrogant’, saying “people make such comments when India lose matches”.

“Everyone has their own opinion... but I don’t think there is any arrogance in this team,” Jadeja said.
