Dravid always preferred younger players. But I don't think he was for axing all seniors just because they are old. Only based on batting, fielding, and attitude. Though he didn't take names, it is safe to say that he didn't want Ganguly in the side (please no politics here), just because he wasn't a safe fielder. With regard to Tendulkar, I think, he was on the fence. However, with the arrival of Vengsarkar, dropping these seniors was no longer considered, and it is no surprise that he and Vengsarkar didn't get along well.
