‘2027 World Cup is probably their main target’

"If Tiger Woods comes back and makes a few shots, I'm just happy he's playing. Same with these two. They know what they still want to achieve; the 2027 World Cup is probably their main target. I just wish them all the success and a fantastic end to their careers, whenever that may finish," he said at the Launch of Test Twenty, a proposed fourth format of the game.

Spotlight on Ro-Ko

During the team's first net session in Perth, Kohli and Rohit looked to be sharp as they middled most of the balls. 

The feet were moving well and that is always a good sign. Interesting to see how they fare after months of not playing international cricket. Also, there is much-talk around their ODI future hence they would certainly be under pressure to perform. It would be nice to see how the two senior pros sock up the pressure and deliver. The first ODI takes place at Perth, the second will happen in Adelaide and the final game will take place in Sydney.
