"Each one should be judged differently. There are youngsters, senior players, fast bowlers and spinners. The workloads are different for each of them. We just have to find the right balance," the 33-year-old said.

The Mumbai batsman said it is important to find the correct balance because players need to recharge their batteries.

"There are different policies and they are quite good. Sometimes you want a break. The player should take some time off just to recharge his batteries. To get fresh mentally and physically is important," he said, on the sidelines of a function in Chennai on Monday night.

"The selectors, the coach and the captain would know particularly the state of the individual players and they are the right persons to figure out who are not needed to be selected," he added.
