Coach Greg Chappell says senior players, including Sachin Tendulkar, need to get back to the basics.
Speaking about the next batch of senior players who are slated to take guard at the rolling camp in Bangalore on Tuesday, Chappell said: "There will be some variations, but sometimes the senior players need to get back to the basics as well.
"I think this [the ongoing rolling camp] is an opportunity to get them back to the basics," the former Australia captain said.
"The good thing about good players, like Tendulkar, (Virender) Sehwag, (Rahul) Dravid, Yuvraj (Singh) and (Mohammad) Kaif, is that these guys have been around for a long time, but they are prepared to revisit the basics from time to time.
"There are no short-cuts, no magic formula. It is about applying the basics better than the other person. We won't have any trouble with the senior guys because they revisit the basics all the time," he said.
On Tendulkar, Chappell said the batsman will basically 'revisit' the basics like what everyone is doing.
"He (Tendulkar) will have an input on what he wants to do. He has a very good feel for what he needs. We, [biomechanist Ian] Frazer and I, had a session with him up in Mumbai last week and he is working on some specifics. He is very good in understanding his own game."
On specific goals vis-a-vis the Champions Trophy, Chappell said the team would vary its goals from time to time, depending upon the opposition and conditions, and try to utilise its resources to the best.
"We have identified some areas in one-day cricket where all teams are finding it difficult. We also find it difficult and we are trying to get better at," he said.
Chappell said they were looking at repositioning some of the resources against different teams because of the faster bowlers they might have, so that the team could match "what our best attribute is against their best attribute at that time".
"So it could mean someone who bats down the order might bat up the order and someone who bats up the order could bat down the order. I don't think there are any set solutions to any situation. So we need to be ready for giving our best attribute to that situation."
Chappell said hitting the stumps is a critical thing in one-day cricket and if one can get one or two run-outs in one-day cricket, it does make a big difference like having an extra bowler.
"So we are just trying to improve all around," he said.
"When you get a group of 15 it is very hard to get a one-on-one session rather than with just five players.
"That was one of the reasons behind having a small group this time. We won't have an opportunity like this again before the World Cup and it is a blessing in disguise.
"Yes, we would have preferred to play on in Sri Lanka (the series was aborted) but may be this (the rolling camp) was meant to happen," he said.
On the second phase of the rolling camp that concluded n Monday, Chappell said it was another good camp.
"We varied it a little bit this time as these guys (M S Dhoni, R P Singh, S Sreesanth, Suresh Raina and Munaf Patel) identified fielding as an area that they wanted to work on as well.
"We did some extra fielding stuff this morning. It went very well. The boys responded excellently to what we were doing in the camp. I am hopeful that the third one will go even better."
Asked about the aspects of fielding that he focussed on, the coach said it was on throwing from the deep.
"We are reasonably good in the short distance, but we need to work on the longer distance throws. We are working on a few areas in their technique so that they get more power and accuracy when they throw."
On how he determines specific areas to work on with each player, Chappell said: "We have identified areas which each player has to work on individually but also as a group while playing on slower wickets, playing against taller bowlers.
"These are areas we have identified and need to work on. The stumps and the golf ball is about building confidence really."
He pointed out that if the players can consistently hit the golf ball with the stumps then they have to get into good positions.
"You can't get into bad positions and get away with it with a golf ball which you might do with a cricket bat and a cricket ball. We are emphasising again good basics, we are really emphasising basics in all areas."
