India captain Rohit Sharma has said that the team isn’t thinking about the World Cup at the moment and the focus is on the series against Bangladesh for now.
India and Bangladesh will lock horns in a three-match ODI series and then two Tests with the first one being played on 14th December. Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to both the squads after being rested for the New Zealand tour.
When asked about the World Cup before the start of the game, Sharma said that the focus was on the current series as the big ICC tournament is still far away.
“To be honest I was not sure. The pitch seems to have some moisture, so we would have bowled first too. Some injures and few issues, we got four all-rounders playing. Washington, Shardul, Shabaz, Deepak Chahar. Kuldeep Sen is making his debut. Myself, Shikhar and Virat up the order. KL Rahul will keep wickets. We hardly played many games in New Zealand, but we fought well. Some of the guys batted really well. World Cup is still far away, we don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to focus on what we have in hand and play accordingly,” said Sharma.
