IND vs AFG, third T20I: Arshdeep says enchancment the one aim as India’s World Cup costume rehearsal nears conclusion

India might have already sewed up the three-match T20I sequence in opposition to Afghanistan — its fifteenth on the trot at dwelling — however speedster Arshdeep Singh believes scorelines don’t impact how the workforce approaches worldwide video games.

“We don’t think that because the score is 2-0, the series is over,” the left-arm bowler mentioned on Tuesday forward of the final tie right here. “It’s about trying to improve by 1% or 2% every match and about developing new skills. The main motive is to play as per the conditions, get used to the ground and adapt quickly.”

This can be India’s tenth and remaining T20I as a part of the preparations for the T20 World Cup within the United States of America and the Caribbean in June. Arshdeep said that the bilateral matches have helped outline particular roles for particular gamers.

“When there is clarity, you come up with good performances. This match will also be the same. Players will then go to the IPL, play in the same positions and contribute to their franchises. We haven’t thought as far as the World Cup and who plays where. The focus now is for whoever gets a chance to give their best.”

Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott mentioned that the sequence in opposition to India marked the beginning of their focus in the direction of the T20 World Cup too. “We haven’t played a lot of T20 recently,” the Englishman quipped.

“As a side we take a while to get going. We saw ourselves build towards that 50-over World Cup with the Asia Cup and series before that. And that’s what I’m looking to build on here. We are sort of getting better in parts. Hopefully tomorrow we can get it all together.”
