India vice-captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said his team is not seeing the upcoming five-match series against England as a dress rehearsal for the T20
World Cup at home later this year and remains focussed on winning it. India have picked some fresh faces for the series while resting lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah as the team looks to build on its preparations for the showpiece event.
‘Not thinking too far ahead’
“We don’t see it as any rehearsal. We are not thinking too far ahead and focusing on winning the series,” Rohit said ahead of the series opener here on Friday.
“If we focus on the present, the future will take care of itself. It’s a long series and it’s important to see where we stand as a team and individuals.” It will be interesting to see who among KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan opens alongside Rohit, who did not reveal much on the combination for the first game. “I won’t be able to reveal the combination, we will have to wait and see till Friday,” he said.
