Shikhar Dhawan, speaking about India’s ideal preparation for the 2023 World Cup, said, “More Asian Wickets…”

The One-Day International (ODI) series between India and New Zealand came to a disappointing conclusion after the final match of the series was also called off owing to rain. As a result of the home team’s victory in the first one-day international, they lead the series 1-0. Due to the lacklustre performance of Shikhar Dhawan squad with the bat, Kane Williamson’s team appeared to be in good position to win the last match of the series as well.

The Twenty20 International series was similarly affected by rain, but India managed to come out on top in the end.

Since the One-Day International World Cup will be played entirely in India, the stand-in captain for the Indian team, Shikhar Dhawan, emphasised the importance of the squad getting more practise on Asian wickets when discussing the path that lies ahead for the Indian team as it prepares for the 2019 ODI World Cup.

“In Bangladesh, every senior player will be available once competition resumes. This will be a route that is more conducive to actual preparation for the World Cup.

The varsity team is going to welcome back every senior player. The more wickets we can win in Asia, the easier it will be for us to make it to the World Cup.

It is essential to pay attention to the specifics, such as the lengths and where the ball should be pitched. We are a youthful unit, and it is likely that they learned how to bowl in the places that were a suitable length. We were on the smaller end of the scale.

Also, going deeper into partnerships, especially when the weather is overcast, Dhawan was quoted as saying after the third one-day international match against New Zealand.

2011 was the year that India won their second global title in the 50-over format, which was also the year when India co-hosted the World Cup for the 50-over format with other countries.

The last time India won an ICC trophy was in 2013, when they took home the Champions Trophy. The event that will be held in 2019 gives a fantastic opportunity for Rohit Sharma’s team to bring some hardware back to India.
