South Africa vs India: Never easy to leave out players - Rahul Dravid on IND team selection

Rahul Dravid didn't reveal the playing XI or the team combination on the eve of the series-opener but he did hint that India will have to make some tough decisions regarding selection ahead of Boxing Day's Centurion Test.

India head coach Rahul Dravid said there would be much to consider when selecting the starting XI for the first Test against South Africa, and he expects those who do not make the cut to be disappointed, something he sees as a positive.

Dravid and Virat Kohli have much to think about in the next few hours as they decide the final team that will take on the Proteas at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Sunday.
