| India must decide on style of play for T20 World Cup before picking players: Stephen Fleming | | | Agencies
MUMBAI, Apr 13: Former New Zealand captain and five-time IPL winning coach Stephen Fleming believes that India should decide on their style of play for the upcoming T20 World Cup and pick the in-form players accordingly. India will head into this year's T20 global showpiece in the Caribbean and the USA to make yet another bid to end their wait for an ICC trophy, which extended further after they lost to Australia in the final of the 50-overs World Cup last year. It has been more than 10 years since India last won a global competition, which has, in a way kept ageing stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the mix despite growing calls for the T20I side to be blooded with young talent.
"The thing for me is, what type of game plan do they want to play during the World Cup? What have they identified as the right style of play for India in an away condition?," Fleming said when asked if CSK's all-rounder Shivam Dube is primed for India call-up for the World Cup.
"Then put players into that rather than just picking players and trying to find a game plan. I would be looking at the style of play that I would want, and then pick the players that are in-form and can perform the role that will best win that design," Fleming said on the sidelines of CSK's training session ahead of their IPL match against Mumbai Indians.
