India’s current poor form won’t hurt WC prospects: Gavaskar

India’s poor form in the ongoing tour of New Zealand will count for nothing when the team comes to defend the World Cup title as the current exposure to conditions would work to its advantage during the mega-event next year, feels former captain Sunil Gavaskar.

India were thrashed 0-4 in the ODI series here but Gavaskar feels it should not be taken as a final statement on how the team would cope with conditions when the World Cup is jointly hosted by New Zealand and Australia next year.

“This tour and one to Australia next summer pre-World Cup would be crucial to India’s development,” Gavaskar was quoted as saying by ‘Fairfax News’.

The former captain, who is commentating in the ongoing tour, said India have adapted well after the retirement of legends such as Sachin Tendulkar. ‘You can already see they’re making changes and learning from the ODI series. They’re starting to show they’re adapting to the conditions and the bowling and I think the team is really keen to learn and improve and that’s a great sign,” said Gavaskar.
