The Asia Cup 2023 is going to play a vital role in the Men in Blue’s preparations for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, in their own backyard. Just after the conclusion of the Asia Cup, Team India under the captaincy of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, will take on Australia in the three-match home ODI series.
It will be the last bilateral ODI assignment for the hosts to get themselves geared up for the 13th edition of the ODI World Cup as they have been grappling with a lot of injury concerns for a lot of time in international cricket.
