We are still waiting for a decision to be made. He further added that controversy would not dent the spirit of the team change the beliefs in the dressing room. He said, "From the Indian cricket team's point of view, this changes nothing in our beliefs in the change room, it does nothing to the spirit we have have been able to create.
