‘It would’ve been nice to represent the country in WTC’

However, for the spectators it would be difficult to follow multiple series in between: Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar, former India captain, is excited ahead of the inaugural WTC final. He shared his views ahead of the contest in a brief conversation. Excerpts: It depends on the surface and I am sure the groundsman will be watering it till the 17th. I haven’t had a look at the wicket but I know there are three options. One is to play with seven batters, three seamers and one spinner. The second option is to play with four seamers and one spinner. And the last is to play three seamers and two spinners. It’s too early to figure out the combination. The advantage with India is both the spinners can bat. It is actually a coincidence that New Zealand and England have played a series just before the WTC final. But they obviously have that advantage of having played two practice matches in the form of Tests. We haven’t had that advantage but I would much rather focus on having done whatever best we could, given the circumstances. It is important to think of the next step rather than the last one. The next step matters and that’s where the focus should be.More Related News
