Selecting playing eleven is the hardest thing to do: Wright Jaipur: Mumbai Indians coach John Wright Tuesday said that his IPL side has plenty of talented players and selecting the playing eleven sometimes becomes the hardest thing.

"We have so many talented players like Glen Maxwell, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nathan Nile, Dwayne Smith and even an experienced bowler Munaf Patel could not be included in the scheme of things. It is important that everybody is happy," said Wright on the eve of MI's IPL 6 league match against Rajasthan Royals here Wednesday.

Refusing to comment on what can happen when Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth face each other, the MI coach said, "Every game is competitive and people like edge. We have a history with every team and personal matters. You have to be patient and the question is how they play within the rules."

Wright conceded that more aggressiveness has crept into the game. "It has become part and parcel of the game. Everyone wants to win now and such kind of behaviour is expected with hard competitive games and has not surprised me." ...more
