What did Jayawardene say about everyone?

Asked if Rohit can play as a ‘impact sub’ (player coming in the middle of the match). Jayawardene said on this, ‘There is not much difference between impact and regular, it is regular, we are just excluding a player and bringing a player in. Technically we are playing 12 players. This is just that who we ‘impact’ and whom we do out, it remains completely tactical and depends on us. ‘ Rohit’s form has been a matter of concern in the early stages of the tournament. An experienced opener has scored 21 runs in the three matches played so far.
