It's been only a few weeks since India suffered their World Cup setback against New Zealand in the semi-final. But come August 3, Virat Kohli's men will embark on a new journey and another mission — the T20 World Cup in Australia next year. Their preparation for that event will start right from the three T20Is that India will play against West Indies in Florida before three ODIs and two Tests. IPL performers Navdeep Saini, Rahul and Deepak Chahar are part of the T20 squad and Kohli is excited to see how the young guns perform against the West Indies, who are known to be a powerhouse in the shortest format.
"When I met the selectors, the basic message from them was to try out a few players that they had in mind and I think it is a very exciting opportunity for all the guys who are stepping in for the first time. "I am particularly excited about the three T20s. Some players have done really well in the format and shown great composure under pressure in tournaments like the IPL. So it's a great marker for all those guys and us as a team as well, to have them in the squad," said Kohli.
