India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are not favourites to lift the 2023 ODI World Cup, which will be played in October and November.
Speaking on a Star Sports show, Kumar Sangakkara said that cricket has changed with the overseas nations learning how to play spin, which was not the case 10 years back.
“I think cricket has changed a lot since 2011, and now Asian conditions don’t only favour the subcontinental players. But over the years, I think England, Australia, and New Zealand have learned how to counter spin conditions better than the subcontinental sides,” Sangakkara explained.
Glenn Maxwell and Jonny Bairstow have a lot of ways to play spinners and are better players than the sub-continent cricketers.
“Reverse sweeps, paddle shots and sweeps are the new strokes. IPL has helped a lot,” Sangakkara said on Star Sports.
Sangakkara also said that the main players of the India national cricket team shouldn’t miss a single ODI game until the 2023 World Cup.
“ODI World Cup year is important, and the players should focus on the one-day internationals.”
