Chennai, Aug 31 (UNI) Dashing India stumper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, today said he was all for experimentation to evolve the right combination and balance in the team next year's world cup.

''It is done to get the correct combination, the Jharkhand-lad said, answering a range of questions about his own performance and about the Indian team, at a press conference here.

Dhoni, who was asked about the criticism by many former players of the frequent experimentations done by coach Greg Chappell, said the such trials cannot be done during the world cup.

''This is the right time to do it. There is six months of time for the World Cup, he said.

Dhoni said he was looking forward to the busy schedule for the Indian team ahead. ''We will be playing the tri-series in Malaysia followed by the Champions trophy here. Then we have the tour to South Africa,'' he said.

Dhoni said these competitions will help the team to improve the performance level in the run-up to the World Cup.

However, asked about the twenty 20 format of cricket, which India will be playing in South Africa, Dhoni said, ''It is neither for the batsman nor the bowler.It is for the spectators.'' More UNI VV-GV PM RN1330
