NEW DELHI: India skipper Suryakumar Yadav kept fans guessing on whether Sanju Samson will feature in the playing XI for Wednesday's Asia Cup opener against the UAE, choosing not to reveal the team combination.

When asked who would make the playing XI between wicketkeeper batter Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson, Surya dodged the question, saying, "Don't worry about Sanju. We will make the right decision tomorrow."

Surya also said his side will not hold back on aggression in the high-voltage Asia Cup clash against Pakistan on Sunday.

"Aggression (is) always there on field and you can't do without aggression if you want to win," Suryakumar said during the tournament-eve captains' press conference in Dubai when asked whether the players will dial down the aggression during the marquee clash.

Suryakumar said his team is in a good place after undergoing extensive practice sessions.

"We have got few practice sessions. Feels good. It's will be a good challenge playing best teams from Asia Cup," he said.

UAE, coached by Indian coach Lalchand Rajput, will be the underdogs but Suryakumar did not want to underestimate the host side.

"They are playing exciting brand of cricket and came close in some of the games in a (recent) tri-series. Hope they cross the line in the Asia Cup," he said.

Asked whether India would look to experiment in the opening game, Suryakumar replied in the negative.

"When you play a format you need to know how good is your preparation. Why mend something that isn't broken? If something has given us results why would we need to change that aspect separately," he said.
