Dubai: Indian head coach Ravi Shastri on Monday said the dew factor will decide whether the team will go with extra sailors or spinners during the ICC T20 World Cup campaign that will come on October 24 against Pakistan.
Shastri, who has his last assignment with the Indian team, also explained that the main purpose of the two warm-up matches against England (tonight) and Australia on October 20 is to understand how players are placed in terms of form and rhythm.
“We will only try to see how many dew around and therefore decide for bats / bowls first.
Also help us decide to play extra spinner or sailors,” Shastri told former Indian Stumper Deep Dasgupta during the interaction for official star maintenance.
Sport ‘.
India is scheduled to play all their matches at night, when dew becomes a major factor.
The heavier dew, the more difficult for spinners to grab the ball, make stroke-play easier for Bathsmen.
Shastri said that the IPL has become an ideal preparation site for Indian players, most of which are permanent visitors on their respective franchises.
“Boys have played IPL for the past two months, so I don’t think they need too much preparation.
More about them gathering and adapting together.
Get some rhythm, some energy.” Asked about the specific advantages he noticed of heating games, Shastri said: “Everyone can bat, everyone can bowl (in this game).
So it will help us to get the idea of who did the way.” Not also (about locked strategies).
We will only see how conditions and work combinations.
