While speaking on his YouTube channel, cricketer-turned-commentator Harbhajan Singh said that India should set their tone ahead of Asia Cup 2023 and follow the template in ICC World Cup 2023.

“India have to play with a tone in the Asia Cup, that they wish to play in the World Cup as well. Now the team has to decide what brand of cricket they have to play.

Whether they want to attack right from the start, or divide the innings into two or three parts and approach each of them differently. The template has to be set here, and they should stick with it in the entire World Cup,”, the 43-year-old said.
