Dravid: I don't have a point to prove

Former India captain Rahul Dravid denied he had a point to prove after being recalled to the one-day side after almost two years.

The batsman has been included in the squad for next month's triangular series in Sri Lanka, which also includes New Zealand, and the Champions Trophy in South Africa.

"It's nice to be back," the 36-year-old told Deccan Herald, adding that he would not be out to prove anybody wrong. "I have never played my cricket that way, wanting to prove a point.

"To me, it's about tying your best to be the best you can be, day after day, in whichever format you are playing and for whichever team you are playing."

Dravid last played a one-day international in October 2007 before the selectors dropped him to introduce young players into the team in the run-up to the 2011 World Cup.

The tri-series in Sri Lanka will be held from September 8-14, while the Champions Trophy will be held from September 22 to October 5.
