Hello Kajjee,
I don't where you heard this reports from but if that is true then it is really bad move on part of indian team management. I feel it is very defenisve move as i had reports that they would try to win all these one day cricket matches begore the world cup. But if what you say is true then it looks they are not yet sure of their team combination and are still looking for the right combinations so near the world cup which is bad, defensive move. And it seems to me a very defensive ploy to try out youngsters so near world cup.
And it will indian team in backfoot immediately against opposition teams as it shows indian team is not being aggressive, attacking in ti's thinking as Sachin -sourav are most successful opening partnership for india in ODIs ever. And morever they are experinced players, matchwinners, and morever there is left-right combination to upset bolwers' rhythm.
And then just because Indian middle order is not playing well as all playes are struggling. Forcing sachin to play in middle order will make cahnge his game. When everybody knows Sachin is best at top of order as he gets to play most overs, attack in powerplays, and give india solid start. i feel it's really a bad move ahead of world cup.
