"I don't think we've been discussing it. Look, he has been in great form fortunately in the IPL, so there are no concerns at all with regards to how it's going in the IPL. You’re still going to the World Cup," said Agarkar.
Agarkar also underlined the importance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s experience going into the high-profile World Cup.
"I mean we've obviously got some reinforcements. That's the whole thing, but you want some experience in your team. I mean these guys have been around because they've been good enough to be around. That's the reason they played. They have played multiple World Cups,” he said.
