Krish Srikkanth may have refused to take any questions on any individual selections, much like he had not done so in the previous World T20, but he did say that fitness and fielding were the two main factors that were kept in mind whilst selecting the side. He added that the team had lost a few games thanks to these two factors and hence the focus was on them. Srikkanth also added that MS Dhoni was content with the team he had been given.
