Team India head coach Rahul Dravid on Tuesday said that it would be unfair to expect every player to be available all the time.

Dravid's comments come after regular captain Rohit Sharma, senior batter Virat Kohli and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah were rested from the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa, starting from Thursday.

"Rohit Sharma is our all-format player. It would be unwise to expect everyone to be available all the time. There are times where we've to rest our big players," said Dravid in a press conference.
