Michael Clarke concerned with India’s approach ahead of the World Cup

The Indian cricket team have been dominant in the last few years, especially in limited-overs cricket. They have won 12 out of their last 13 bilateral ODI series, with their only loss coming in England in July 2018. India have been on a roll as they beat Australia and New Zealand, both away from home earlier this year.

However, skipper Virat Kohli revealed that the team is looking to fill certain spots for the World Cup by giving some game time to the fringe players. But former Australia skipper Michael Clarke is concerned with India’s approach in the lead-up to the World Cup. “My only concern with India's approach in the first two T20s against Australia and in the current series is that they are not too concerned about winning or losing those games,” the 2015 World Cup winning skipper said at the India Today Conclave.

He also added that it is important to try and win as many games as possible in the lead-up to the World Cup and build momentum.
