The Indian player Rohit Sharma has been recently appointed as the vice-captain of the limited-overs team. Today he expressed he is excited to play with new role in five-match ODI series, beginning August 20 in Dambulla.
He said "It is a huge honour to be appointed as the vice-captain. Ten years ago, I was only thinking of playing for India. And being a vice-captain now feels really good. There will be some sort of goals when I will play the first ODI on August 20. I am looking forward to it. Rather than thinking too much about it. Yes, it will be a good opportunity for me to get onto the field. The last few years have been really good. So, we just need to continue that,"
"Yes, nobody likes to sit out, but again it all depends upon the team dynamics- what the captain and the coachwants to pick and you have to except the fact and move forward. That is what I have been doing. I kept working on my skills, my ability wherever I need to work on and see wherever I can improve as a cricketer. You cannot sit and waste time. All I was doing these past three weeks is just to improve my skills, seeing wherever I am going wrong and trying to strengthen the strength I have," Rohit added.
