My captain

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah feels that maintaining a vision will be very important on the road to the 2023 Cricket World Cup. With just a year and ten months left for the mega event to take place in India, the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa starting from Wednesday will be the first step for the 1983 and 2011 winners to determine the vital cogs in the 50-overs wheel.

"We have to keep a vision in order to know which direction we have to go ahead of the 2023 World Cup. The preparations will start from advance if some new players come or which direction we have to go. We will try to give equal opportunities to everyone. So, I think maintaining a vision is going to be very important," said Bumrah in the virtual press conference on Monday.
