“They look like a strong side and might also be the favourites but it’s a hot English summer next year and it would really be injuries to Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) or (Jasprit) Bumrah that you need to be concerned about. So you need to develop the pace better and replacement players just in case. It will be summer in England and you might need some seam bowling, Fleming told Mail Today.

 

Fleming, who has been the coach of Ravindra Jadeja and Ambati Rayudu in Chennai Super Kings, believes that their inclusion has given the Indian team a huge boost and if the players continue to play according to their potential, India will be serious title contenders.

“I think you will have Virat Kohli back with the openers, MS Dhoni will rise for the big occasion. Kedar Jadhav and Dinesh Karthik are also there, so you have plenty of resources,” Fleming assessed.

India are slated to tour Australia and New Zealand before the World Cup, and the former Kiwi skipper believes that this gives the team an excellent opportunity to get back into rhythm and chalk out strategies for the all-important tournament in England.
