” It is a hard one for them, and most likely an issue not having that left-hander. They’ve changed to excluding DK (Dinesh Karthik) and generating Rishabh (Pant) because function, batting at 5 or 4. Those are things they need to settle entering into the World Cup.

” For me, the method they (India) played, the abilities, the skill, whatever exists. They simply require a bit of self-confidence with the bat, with the ball and in the field. These are little things that India will wish to enhance. It’s simply the self-confidence of bowlers having the ability to get wickets and after that carrying out abilities,” Jayawardene included.
The Sri Lankan stated India would be more reinforced by the return of rate ace Bumrah.
