(Reuters) - India's team director Ravi Shastri dismissed the tri-series in Australia preceding the World Cup as a complete waste of time and energy for a side defending their world title in less than two weeks' time.

The former India captain seemed to have a point as the team, since landing in Australia in late November, could not register a single win in the four-test series and finished the subsequent tri-series, also involving England, in similar manner.
