Twenty20 World Cup : Non-experienced Indian Team

I don’t know how India is accepting the which will take place from 11 September in South Africa. Now, Indian team is playing 6match ODI with England. Before they played three matches test series after finishing this series they will play Twenty20 World Cup then they will play a series with Australia too. Without rest will it fall any pressure on India team?

Another thing is that all of the player who are going to play the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup are all less than 22 except Yuvraj. But his performance was not good in the last ICC Championship Trophy. So, how Indian is depending on this young a non-experienced team?

DNA Reported:

Uthappa, in his first game, overhauled Yuvraj’s highest score by a debutant for India. After a lacklustre World Cup in the Caribbean, the Karnataka opener has been lying low. His 55 against Scotland in the one-off one-dayer was a relatively sedate affair when looked at in context of his 100-plus strike rate. Uthappa has wisely taken time to get his eye in before playing the big shots.

Sharma has played just two one-dayers so far. He remains the only Indian batsman to have a Twenty20 century to his name. He is considered the brightest batting talent emerging from Mumbai, since one Sachin Tendulkar. In the domestic circuit he has made the runs. He will now have to take the next big step.

I think India is not taking the Twenty20 World Cup seriously. Or they are thinking the team is appropriate for the championship. In the other hand, they can think for the next series with Australia.
