It is understood that BCCI is t keen on repeating 2011 saga when suddenly an old team was found to be out of sorts and hence selectors, especially chairman Agarkar and he coach Gambhir, would need to talk to senior cricketers about plan ahe.

For India to t depend on any or calculations to qualify for WTC final, y would require a 4-0 result Down Under, which as of w looks next to impossible.

India can still qualify after losing Border Gavaskar-Trophy if or teams don't fare well.
