New Delhi: India one-day skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has strongly defended his decision to back junior players over more established seniors while selecting the One-Day team for the tri-series in Australia.
"I was pretty clear about the players I wanted in the side. It is sometimes very important to send the message across. That's what I said to the selectors as well. You can see the kind of team I got. It's very important because the process and the timing were criticised a lot," Dhoni was quoted as saying in an interview with cricinfo.
And taking a swipe at the critics Dhoni said, "The critics questioned this side but now that it's performed you need to back it. We all knew, and you all knew, what would have happened if this side didn't do well in Australia.
"Now that it has done well, why don't you appreciate the performance? Beating Australia is tough. You can have one good day and beat them but beating them in two consecutive matches is a significant achievement."
