We still have three months to get where we want to be: Gambhir on T20 WC

The Indian cricket team is not where it "wants to be" in terms of its preparations for next year's T20 World Cup yet but head coach Gautam Gambhir says there is enough time in hand to get there. In a brief teaser of his interview with 'bcci.tv', Gambhir also stressed on the importance of fitness. "It has been a very transparent dressing room, it has been a very honest dressing room and that is how we want this dressing room to be. I think we still aren't where we want to be come the T20 World Cup," he said in the 46-second clip which will be followed by the full interview later in the day. "Hopefully guys know the importance of being fit. We still have three months to be where we want to be," he added.

Australia won't tone down aggression in T20s before World Cup, says Marsh

Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh knows an ultra-aggressive batting strategy won't pay off always, but said his team will continue with its attacking approach as part of its preparations for next year's T20 World Cup, having fallen short in the last two editions. Australia will take on India in a five-match T20I series beginning here on Wednesday as part of their preparation for the showpiece to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka in February-March next year. Australia last won the T20 World Cup in 2021 while India triumphed in the last edition in 2024. "We had two World Cups where we didn't quite go all the way. And I guess we spoke about wanting to challenge ourselves as a team to what we think can win us to the World Cup," Marsh said during the pre-series press conference on Tuesday. "As a batting unit, we have played a lot more aggressively. I think that's been the nature of T20 cricket for a lot of teams over the last few years. "But yeah, if you look towards the World Cup in Indi

Italy skipper Joe Burns hopes to play vs India in 2026 T20 WC opener

Having led Italy to their maiden World Cup qualification, the European team's Australia-born captain Joe Burns wants to "jump in at the deep end" during the T20 showpiece next year by taking on defending champions India in the opening match itself. Italy made the cut for the event in India and Sri Lanka next year with a solid showing in the European Qualifiers that concluded earlier this month. The draws for the World Cup are still some time away from being finalised. "You come to your first World Cup and you want the big stage. I'd love to be playing India in the first game in India," Burns told ICC Digital. "I'd love to be playing Australia, England or all the top teams, that's the experience that you're after. You want to test yourself, you want to really jump in at the deep end," he added. Burns said qualifying for the tournament was still a "surreal" feeling for him. "A lot of planning and preparation went into it (qualifying). So it's satisfying from that aspect from the cri
