Chennai, Sept 10 (ZEENEWS.COM) India coach Greg Chappell on Saturday said he would prefer to concentrate on India's performance in the cricket Tri-series in Malaysia than getting concerned about his own country Australia's showing in the tournament.

During a press meet prior to the team's departure for Kuala Lumpur tonight, Chappell, who would be coaching India against his home country Australia for the first time, said: "I am more concerned about how we (India) play. Obviously we have got to be focussed on what we need to do to play well against the West Indies too," he said.

"Other than that, the opposition teams are very good and we need to play accordingly with a goal to win against them," the coach added.

Chappell said his name being shortlisted for the coach's job of Australian cricket team was only a speculation.

"I am not interested in answering that...Coaches of most of the countries will be finishing their contract after the 2007 World Cup. It is purely and merely a speculation. Nothing, obviously, to talk about it now."
