''I think anything new is welcome but you should not overdo things. Too many changes might spoil the system altogether. Anyway, they (team think-tank) are better judges of it,'' he said in New Delhi [Images] on Thursday.Asked whether such experiments should continue or not, Kapil, who had a forgettable stint with the Indian team as coach, said, ''I think it is winning, which should continue.''
Kapil said India had discovered a new all-rounder, someone who could turn a match on its head with his batting or bowling, in Irfan Pathan [Images].
"He has proved that he has the capabilities and now it's entirely on him to keep working hard and continue playing like this.''
On Rahul Dravid's [Images] captaincy, the World Cup winning skipper said, ''Captaincy is a different proposition altogether where you have to look after so many things. I think it's too early to judge Dravid but I must say that he has done a good job so far. He has got a good team, which is bustling, and I wish he wins more and more matches.''
Kapil also did not rule out a comeback for Dravid's predecessor Sourav Ganguly [Images].
''Knowing his temperament, I can say that he is a stubborn player and will take this challenge to make a comeback. A number of great cricketers have faced such a situation and made comeback and there is no reason why he should not come back.
"The fact that senior players like Ganguly, Zaheer Khan [Images] are being made to sit out underlines the level of competition you have in the team (for each slot),'' he added.
Refusing to predict the outcome of India's home series against South Africa [Images], the former all-rounder said, ''I'm more concerned about the level of cricket than the outcome of the series. I only hope it dishes out quality cricket.''
