Team India ready to take on SriLanka today : Nepal and Bangladesh turned victorious on first day of T-20 World Cup

Meerpur: Today India is going to play first warm-up match with SriLanka. It can be taken as one more chance for Team India to decide whom to play, whom to be given rest and to finalize the actual team of tournament. India is going to Super-10 league competition directly in the Twenty-20 world cup. Captain Dhoni is planning to test entire 15 members of team in the first two warm-up matches and decide final team crew to be played for the rest of tournament.

World Cup star Yuvraj and Suresh Raina have come back to the team. Hence it will be tough decision for Indian captain to decide whom to be played. One among Rohit sharma, Rahane and Dhawan should be eliminated. Even though Rahane has joined recently into the team, he is in good form. He made two half centuries in Asia cup. Dhoni is in dilemma to decide whom to take out of Yuvraj and Raina.

For all these confusions arising out of the team India, warm-up matches would give good solution. Dhoni can select quite easily basing on the performance of players in warm-up matches. Now, it has become tough for Dhoni to decide openers as well. Also, regarding bowling as well Dhoni can decide whom to be given place in the final team – whether three pace bowlers or three spinners.

Along with Aswin and Jadeja, should Dhoni keep Mishra as well or should keep pacers Mohit sharma or Bhuvaneswar is a big question. Hence tough decisions of these kind regarding the formation of team India can be taken only after two warm-up matches. As of now players of Team India are Dhoni, Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Rahane, Yuvraj, Raina, Jadeja, Ashwin, Mishra, Stuwart Binny, Shami, Aaron, Bhuvaneswar and Mohit Sharma.

Yesterday, Twenty-20 world cup was inaugurated with two matches. Bangladesh has won over new bud Afganistan. On the other hand Nepal was qualified for T-20 world cup by making thrilling victory over Hongkong. Nepalinas celebrated the victory of their cricket team grandly with good shows all over. Today Ireland Vs Zimbabwe and Netherlands Vs UAE are going to play for qualifying.
