Set to lead India's pace attack in the upcoming Nidahas T20 Trophy in Sri Lanka, Jaydev Unadkat wants to use the opportunity to stake a claim in the ODI squad with an eye on the World Cup next year. Unadkat made his T20 debut against Zimbabwe at Harare in 2016 and was out of reckoning for over a year before he made a comeback in the home series against Sri Lanka in December.
Now the seamer is looking ahead to the World T20 and the World Cup in England next year. "I will definitely think that this is a build-up for the big tournaments coming up, not just the World T20, but the limited-overs World Cup as well. As I said, it is about pushing for a place in the team, being able to execute skills in the middle now that I have the confidence of the team management and the skipper," the left-arm pacer said yesterday.
According to Unadkat, his plans against Sri Lanka would remain the same as he played against them in December and was named man of the series. "It will be an advantage, having known their strengths and how they play in situations. Those were T20s and we are again playing T20s. So that will be an advantage for us," he said.
