Bangalore, Sep 5: Coach Greg Chappell says senior players, including Sachin Tendulkar, need to get back to the basics.

Speaking about the next batch of senior players 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 Australian captain said.

"The good thing about good players like Tendulkar, (Virender) Sehwag, (Rahul) Dravid, Yuvraj (Singh) and (Mohammed) 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 would 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".
