Before the first ODI between BAN and IND, Rohit Sharma says,
“Not focusing on ODI World Cup right now.” Regarding the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, which will be held in India, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has made a bold statement.
Although the team has a good idea of what they need from the World Cup, Sharma estimates that it is still eight to nine months away and that they are not currently focusing on it.
Because it marks the beginning of preparations for the World Cup in 2023, the current India tour of Bangladesh in 2022 will be crucial for Indians.
The conditions and pitches for the upcoming world cup in India are very similar to those in Bangladesh.
In addition, every senior player will play against Bangladesh after the long haul.
After a long absence from the ODIs, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and KL Rahul will return to action.
In particular, India will host the ODI World Cup 2023 in October and November.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, believes that it is premature to consider an event that is nine to ten months away.
“I mean, look, every time we play a game, we prepare for something that will happen later.
However, the World Cup is as yet 8-9 months from now. We can’t plan this far out. Rohit expressed in front of the main ODI in Dhaka.
However, the 35-year-old cricketer stated that the team would absolutely do everything necessary to improve in order to arrive at the World Cup fully equipped.
But, yes, we’ll keep an eye on what our team needs to do, where we can improve, and how things go.
It is crucial, in my opinion, that we refrain from obsessing over too many aspects of the World Cup; We need to play this guy and that guy because this is the combination and that is the combination.
The Indian captain continued, “The management will narrow down their plans and strategies for the World Cup 2023 once inch closer to the World Cup.”
Although every series is a preparation for a future event,
“I and the coach have a reasonable idea of what we want to do, and once we get closer to the World Cup, we will narrow it down.
However, I believe we just want to play good cricket until the World Cup.However, first things first: winning the series.
We are focusing on one game at a time to see how we can perform well.After that, consider the second and third.
Therefore, sometimes it doesn’t help to think too far ahead.
