00:00Nikhil, what have you got for us?
00:03I'm sure you're looking forward to the white ball assignments against England.
00:07Yes. Hi, Suresh. My question is,
00:09this white ball three against England, especially the one-days,
00:13how crucial are they because they are just before the Champions Trophy
00:16in terms of practice for the team?
00:19And second question, if you want to put your prediction hat,
00:22who will be your fourth semi-finalist for the Champions Trophy?
00:27It will be important. First of all, I think 2020 will be very important
00:31because as you can see, the north side, the east side will be a bit cold.
00:36The wicket will be very, very different. The toss will be vital.
00:39But as you rightly said, when it's a 50-over tournament,
00:42when it's one-days, 3, 6, 9, 12,
00:44it will be very important to know how the team will perform.
00:49And this practice is very important for Mohammed Shami,
00:53for Washington Sundar.
00:55You can see that they haven't played for a long time.
00:57So, the selector will be in the spotlight and so will Rohit Sharma.
01:01And as you said, semi-finalists,
01:05I think India, New Zealand,
01:08Afghanistan play a lot of matches. They have a lot of mystery spinners.
01:13So, I won't write off Afghanistan because
01:16Afghan Jalebi will come back to Dubai
01:18because they have a different idea of playing in a shorter format
01:20and the team plays differently.
01:23And I think South Africa had that belief.
01:25I think they have done really, really well as a team.
