Teams involved in preparing combinations.
There is a lot of time at the beginning of the World Cup, but no team is anxious about it, it is not so at all. Every team has been preparing for its preparation from now. Team India has to play two important series before the World Cup. First against West Indies and then Australia. Both ODIs are excellent and dangerous for ODIs. West Indies will play a series in India but for Australia, India will have to go there. And it is certain that touring Australia will not be easy. However, in this, the middle order of Team India will be checked on which many questions are being raised.
