Rohit Sharma worried about game going late

Rohit Sharma’s men knew well in advance they would play the semi-final in Guyana. However, the Indian skipper said that would not give his team an edge over England. “The only thing I’m worried about is if the game goes on until pretty late, we have a charter flight. We might miss that flight, but that’s OK. It’s the ICC and the Cricket West Indies’ headache to get us to the next venue.”

“Honestly not a lot has changed since 2022. We have tried to play with a free mind, T20, and ODIs as well. It all depends on the conditions which were challenging throughout the tournament here. We want to be a smart cricket team. I have kept things simple personally and for the players as well. We have done well with role clarity and rely on the players making good decisions on the field,” he said.
