Kapil Dev slightly concerned about SA Tour
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kapil-Dev-c70234, the former Indian skipper has expressed his concerns over India’s tour to SA, and amid the chances of senior players getting injured, has regarded it as a double-edged sword.
As the world cup is coming closer, extending an opportunity for team India to carve a history at home, the questions regarding whether Dhoni’s team will be able to outdo the rivals from South Africa have started to prevail. And
among those who have expressed their concerns and fears over the tour, Kapil Dev seems the most perplexed.
While talking to an international sports channel’s correspondent, during the World Cup promotional event in New http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 could be vital as far as preparations
for the big event were concerned, however, it was subjected to certain risks as well.
“http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 will benefit from the South Africa tour. They are a strong side. If India play good cricket on good pitches then they are bound to take positives out of the series. If they start playing well in South Africa then their confidence
level will be very high going into the world cup. Even if they do not perform well, they will have a chance to improve when they come back. And playing at home is always an advantage. So it is a win-win situation” Kapil added further.
While visiting SA, India will be facing the hosts in three-Test and five one-day internationals. The teams will also play a T20 match at the end of the tour. What is worrisome for Kapil is that playing too much cricket before World
Cup can be fatal.
“Too much cricket can hamper their preparations. There is always an injury scare once a team starts playing too much cricket. So the tour is like a double-edged sword. But if they do well in South Africa then Team India looks the
best side on paper along with Sri Lanka” Said the former skipper while looking quite confused over the matter.
Other guests at the event who shared the stage with Kapil included Viv Richards, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket team Imran khan. Contrary to Kapil, all of the rest of the guests were of the view that
India’s tour to South Africa will do wonders for the team ahead of the World Cup.
