India are due to play the first ODI against Afghanistan at the HPCA Stadium, where toss has been delayed due to heavy rain.\n<p>\u201cThese matches help us find the right combinations and build the right rhythm going into the World Cup. We also get to learn what\u2019s working, what can improve, and what we can take forward into the tournament,\u201d Prasidh told the host broadcasters on the sidelines of the rain delay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reflecting on his recent Test outing in New Chandigarh, including picking 3-37, Prasidh said the focus has been on hitting fuller lengths. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on that length for quite some time now, and it\u2019s really pleasing for me to see it come off in game time as well. The idea is to bowl a little fuller and hit that uncomfortable length where batsmen find it difficult to make decisions.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the transition back to white\u2011ball cricket, Prasidh said the key lies in adapting to formats. \u201cThe changes are mainly about the approach and mindset. We\u2019ve played T20s, then a one\u2011off Test, and now we go back to white\u2011ball cricket. As I said before the Test, it\u2019s about adapting to the situation, the format, and the demands of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s about trying to keep things tight, block the runs, and make it harder for the batsmen. It\u2019s very important. As a group, we\u2019ve been playing this format together for a while now, so we understand each other\u2019s roles well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the transition back to white\u2011ball cricket, Prasidh said the key lies in adapting to formats. \u201cThe changes are mainly about the approach and mindset.

We\u2019ve all been playing together for quite some time, so there isn\u2019t a strong sense of seniority. We all learn from each other and support each other - that\u2019s the best way to move forward as a team.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
