India ODI stand-in captain Hardik Pandya has admitted that he is right now “a turtle not rabbit”, but is keen to increase his bowling workload to prepare himself for the World Cup at home in October-November.

Pandya has been used sparingly as a bowler in international matches in recent times due to a spate of injuries— shoulder and back to be precise. He bowled three overs in the first match and took one wicket giving away 17 runs. He, however, went wicketless in the second ODI here on Saturday, conceding 38 runs from 6.4 overs.
