'We want to stick with the same team' - SRH coach Trevor Bayliss hints David Warner unlikely to comeback soon

David Warner was left out of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) playing XI for their clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR). And, it looks like David Warner’s comeback into the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side might not happen anytime soon.

SRH Head Coach Trevor Bayliss has stated that the makeup of the SRH team is changing. Stating that they wanted more bowlers in the side, Bayliss said that the SRH outfit had preferred to go in with Mohammed Nabi in the encounter against Rajasthan Royals.

Bayliss also reasoned that Jason Holder will help to bolster the pace bowling department as well. Bayliss even went on to state that the SRH side will stick with the same playing XI for the next couple of games as well.

“Difficult decision, big decision but we wanted to try and change the makeup of the team. Try and help our bowlers with a few extra overs from another bowler. We have gone with Nabi in this game. Someone like Jason Holder in that middle order will help our pace bowling as well. We want to stick with the same team, rather than dropping players from one or two matches,” said Bayliss in a chat with Star Sports.
