Depth of the matter
“The Indian side has got depth. They have a truckload of cricketers, but it is necessary to have the right combination at the right time. I think what India needs to do is ensure that the fast bowlers are completely fit for the tournament. I think Ishant Sharma could be a bowler that could play a huge role along with someone like Yadav (Umesh). The need of the hour for India is pace,” said Lee, who spoke via teleconference from Sydney after the launch of Disney India’s official digital game for the Cup — ICC Pro Cricket 2015.
