India can use the three-match ODI series with England as a useful learning curve ahead of next year’s World Cup, says vice-captain Rohit Sharma. He further says that the series will tell them much about how they are placed in their bid to be crowned world champions for a third time.
“It is very important, since the World Cup is going to be played in this part of the world,” said Sharma.
“In terms of preparation it’s very important, in terms of our combinations and what our targets are going to be. We have seen England against Australia and they were really high scoring games, it’s gong to be crucial to see where we are as a team.”
“In the last year or so we have played some good cricket, in and out of India, this tour brings another challenge for us.”
Sharma scored an unbeaten hundred in India’s seven wicket T20 series clinching win over England last Sunday.
