India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday said “90-95% of the team was settled” ahead of the T20 World Cup, which gets underway in Australia from Oct. 16.
In the last two matches of the Asia Cup, India has played two specialist quicks in Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh, while using all-rounder Hardik Pandya as the third seamer.
“When you talk about experiments, yes, we wanted to try out certain things. If you look at the combination we have been playing before the start of the Asia Cup, it was with four seamers, two spinners and the second spinner was an all-rounder. I always wanted to try and find answers as to what happens if you play with three seamers and two spinners, and the third spinner being an all-rounder,” Rohit said of the team combination after the Super 4 defeat against Sri Lanka in Dubai.
