Dravid then went on to explain why Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma were not selected for the three-T20I series against the Kiwis.
“Workload management is something that is a part and parcel of the game today. We keep reviewing these things. You will call the break we have given to some of our boys (Rohit, Virat, KL) in the T20 series as workload management,” Dravid said.
