An important calendar year for the Indian Team
It will be a crucial year for Team India. In Tests, the squad is undergoing a minor transition in the batting department. Virat Kohli and co. must tackle this, while also keeping the WTC table in mind. Of course, the most important challenge will be the T20 World Cup at the end of the year. India has been in a barren run without the ICC trophies and hence, the task in Australia will be critical. Considering Pakistan is doing well, the Asia Cup assignment will also be crucial for the squad.
