Surely India will defend World Cup title Cricket Legend Laxman said : ...
According
to VVS Laxman: there are no clear favorites for next year's World Cup
in Australia and New Zealand, but he feels India will surely enjoy an
"advantage" having spent a considerable amount of time in Australia
before the mega-event.
India
will spend nearly two-and-a-half months in Australia before the World Cup
and will play four Tests against the hosts besides a tri-series also
involving England. Going by India's present form in the ODI format,
Laxman is confident of India defending the World Cup title.
Laxman
to media: For World Cup no one starts
as favorites because at least 4–5 teams are playing top-class cricket
right now. But the way Indian team is playing in ODI format, I have no
doubt that they will be able to defend the title. The advantage that India
will be having is that they will be spending more than two months in
Australia. They will have a good opportunity to get used to the conditions
that they are going to confront in the World Cup.
Laxman also feels that India's success in the
tour to Australia will largely depend on the youngsters' ability to prove
themselves to the bouncy pitches there.
He
added "It will be a great opportunity for the young team to showcase
their talent and potential. It will be a highly competitive series but I
am sure that the players have got the potential to do well."
