Dhaka: Describing the new members in the Indian squad as "highly promising", Indian coach John Wright on Tuesday said the youngsters had "fitted in" very well and should now learn to handle the pressure at the top level of cricket. The youngsters have fitted in particularly quickly which is good for us. They are highly promising young players who need this exposure with the senior team," Wright told reporters on the eve of India's match against Bangladesh here on Wednesday. Wright confirmed that the team was toying with the idea of bringing about a couple of changes in the Indian line-up. "Some of the players could be rested. It will give the opportunity to some of the youngsters to have a go." India has won both its matches and is virtually assured of making it to the final of this tri-series tournament, being played on a double-league format, on April 20. Wright said captain Saurav Ganguly could be rested for the match along with Zaheer Khan who has a slight hamstring strain. "Zaheer has a slight hamstring strain and will definitely not play tomorrow (Wednesday). It is not very serious and we will decide whether to field him in the match against South Africa depending on his recovery," the coach said. Wright indicated that off spinner Sarandeep Singh, recalled into the team after a fairly long gap, might play while paceman Avishkar Salvi and all-rounder Sanjay Bangar could also figure in the playing XI.
