Shivam Dube, like a lot of cricket players, wants to represent India in the Twenty20 World Cup. The all-rounder from Mumbai, who impressed with an unbeaten score of sixty and a wicket in the opening Twenty20 International against Afghanistan, is unwilling to look too far ahead, though. He would want to focus on one game at a time.
Every person who serves their nation hopes to compete in the World Cup.” Although it is still far off, playing in the T20 World Cup is in the cards. I’m now trying to get ready for our game tomorrow. I approach everything one game at a time, that’s my technique,” Dube stated on Saturday.
He was included in the Indian team for the Asian Games and the Ireland trip because to his strong play with the Chennai Super Kings in the most recent IPL season. Dube was selected for the home T20Is against Australia following the Asian Games, however, he did not play and was not included in the away series against South Africa.
He did, however, make a point in Mohali. When considering his period outside of the national conversation, Dube remarked, “It’s difficult when things don’t go your way.” You cannot do something about it. I put a lot of effort into my practice, followed a plan to improve, and focused on both the mental and physical sides.
With the T20 World Cup less than six months away, Dube believes it will be beneficial to give Indian players more playing time. He says that the importance goes beyond particular people and underlines the significance of these next two Afghanistan series games are for the squad as a whole. “The more T20s that play, the clearer your understanding becomes about team dynamics and combination,” he said. Success in the Indian Premier League may create opportunities for players to gain a berth in the Indian side.
