"We have so many talented players like Glen Maxwell, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nathan Nile, D Smith and even an experienced bowler Munaf Patel could not be included in scheme of things. It is important that everybody is happy," said Wright on the eve of MI's IPL-6 league match against Rajasthan Royals here tomorrow.
Refusing to comment on what can happen when Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth face each other tomorrow, the MI coach said, "Every game is competitive and people like edge. We have a history with every team and personal matters. You have to be patient and the question is how they play within the rules."
"It has become part and parcel of the game. Everyone wants to win now and such kind of behaviour is expected with hard competitive games and has not surprised me."
Wright also felt that it was too early to say that Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting have not been able to do well in the openers' roles.

"Sachin has played a good knock and unfortunately he was run out twice. It is too early to say that they have not done well. Here too, we are seen as favourites but the Royals are a good side and they have played hard and good cricket. It is going to be a tough game," he said.
"The performance by of a couple of players is enough to win any game in this format. There are few match winners. The major attraction of this format is the unpredictability. The game changes quickly and people love it," he added.
