India head coach Rahul Dravid hinted at tough selection decisions ahead of the South Africa tour after youngsters make full use of their opportunity in absence of some big names.

While talking to broadcasters after India's win in the second Test against New Zealand, Dravid said that it is a good selection headache given the youngsters performed well.

He further added that the team management may have to make some tough decisions but as long as we have clear communication with players, he doesn't see a problem.

Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara's selection are the under-scanner for the South Africa tour given the duo failed to impress in the New Zealand Test series.

Meanwhile, youngsters Mayank Agarwal and Shreyas Iyer made full use of the opportunity and smashed centuries against New Zealand.

Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant are likely to return to the Indian squad after getting a well-deserved break.
