On the lack of game time leading up to the tournament, former Indian captain Anjum Chopra says, These programs are charted out much earlier. It's not just at that very moment that they plan. For example, India will be playing New Zealand in the ODI series just after the World Cup. So, these plans are worked out well in advance. Again, I say, they played in the Asia Cup competitively and faced England and Australia leading up to the World Cup. I don't think they were short on preparation time.

00:00I think these programs are chalked out or charted out much earlier. It's not just that very moment that they plan.
00:08So, like India will be playing New Zealand in the Wonder Series just after the World Cup.
00:13So, these plans are worked out much in advance.
00:16Again, I say, you know, even like they played Asia Cup competitive.
00:22They played against England. They played against Australia leading up to the World Cup.
00:27So, when you have 8, 9, 10 months of preparation going in, you know which way you're going forward.
00:32South Africa as well, there was a series.
00:35So, you can play as many international series. That's not a problem.
00:39But what is it that you're trying to learn from them?
00:43And what is it individually and collectively the team is trying to gain out of it?
00:48You just don't play a series because you want to play a series because there is an international event happening.
00:52So, I don't think that preparation time was short of it.
00:59Yes, we can always be happy by saying that and we can always feel more content when we say we are playing more international cricket.
01:07That is of course, that great exposure will always help.
01:10But I felt that the mistakes or the, you know, staying behind the game what was there in the earlier T20 events or a World Cup is still happening there.
01:21You can't keep doing the same mistake.
01:23Then that means either your preparation is incomplete or you haven't learned the skill.
01:27The same mistakes cannot happen again and again.
01:30If the same mistake is happening, then definitely there is a miss in either the skill level or the preparation or the adaptation.
01:37So, that needs to be identified and that needs to be clubbed.
01:40Changing people, changing setups is not going to just solve it.
01:44We have everything in our country.
01:46BCCI provides us with everything in our country from preparation to games to whatever a player requires to become a world champion.
01:54So, I think that's taken care of.
01:56It's up to how as players they are able to utilize everything to their advantage.
