World Cup 2023: Team India will take on the hosts, New Zealand, in a three-match ODI series beginning on November 25, with veteran left-hander Shikhar Dhawan set to captain the side. Dhawan, who will now captain the team in the 50-over format after the T20I series was won under Hardik Pandya, has emphasised the preparations for the ODI series.
After Rohit Sharma requested that the management remove him from the team so that he could recuperate, Shikhar Dhawan assumed the captaincy duties. In addition, the acting captain said that he wants the team to play “excellent cricket” in the ODI series against the southern hemisphere.
“Our goal is to win the series while playing solid cricket. For young boys to travel and play in New Zealand is beneficial exposure. Test their abilities and moral integrity under various circumstances. The fact that it has been raining a little has caused the ball to move. It’s a terrific chance for us to demonstrate our abilities, Dhawan said during the pre-game press conference.
We have a solid sense of who will make the World Cup squad: Dhawan Shikhar
The team has been coming up with ideas for the massive event as the 2023 Cricket World Cup is scheduled to take place in India the following year. He also mentioned that the Cricket World Cup preparations had started and made a suggestion that some players might be selected for the World Cup squad.
“The World Cup is the sole focus of this preparation. The little guys have been doing pretty well. Who will make the World Cup squad is something we know for sure, he continued.
India will play Bangladesh in a Test and ODI series beginning in December after the three-match ODI series against the Kiwis.
