Monish Moorthy: The long term plans of the team include the 2015 World Cup. Rotation is the way for them to build a pool of 20 players who by then will have the polished skill and experience required for a title defense. Seniors with years of experience have bigger troubles if one match on the bench can harm their 'form'. Youngsters though need to given a good run for them to make mistakes and learn from them, understand themselves and the game better.
Foram Gosrani: While it ensures that young players get a chance in the playing 11, it also means the in form player misses a match per policy rules, affecting their rhythm. E.G.: Gautam Gambhir has scored very well but will miss every 3rd match while Rohit Sharma is still in the playing 11 despite his non-performance. Young players get a chance but there is no guarantee they will perform well and could turn into a liability for the team. Winning is more important than trials of the players.
