India바카라s 2022 T20 World Cup hopes ended with a 10-wicket defeat against eventual champions England in the semifinals.

Pandya, who will be leading India in the three-match T20I series against New Zealand, starting Friday, said the team needs to overcome from their World Cup failure. 바카라Yes, we all know there is disappointment of the World Cup but we are professionals and we need to cope with it. How we cope with our success we cope up with our failures and move forward and look forward to get better rectify our mistakes,바카라 Pandya told reporters.

The next T20 World Cup will be played in 2024 in the West Indies and United States and the Indian squad is expected to undergo a major transition in the next two years with the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma among others being gradually eased out of the set up.

바카라Yes, the next T20 WC is almost two years so we have time (to unearth new talent). A lot of cricket will be played and a lot of people will get enough chances.

바카라The road map starts from now. But it바카라s too fresh right now. We have a lot of time so we will sit down and have conversations on those grounds,바카라 Pandya said.

바카라Right now it바카라s making sure that the boys enjoy playing here. We will talk about the future later,바카라 he added.

The white-ball tour of New Zealand that includes three T20Is and as many ODIs will not feature Kohli, Rohit, opener KL Rahul, keeper-batter Dinesh Karthik and veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin as all have been rested as part of 바카라workload management of players바카라.

In their absence, the likes of Shubman Gill, Umran Malik, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson have been given a chance and Pandya says it will be an important series for them in the grand scheme of things.

바카라The main boys are not here but the same time the talent which the guys who are already here, they have also been playing for one and-a-half, two years now,바카라 he said.

바카라They have had ample chances and enough time in international cricket to express themselves and show what they have. Very excited for them, new bunch of guys, new energy and excitement.

바카라Every series is important. You can바카라t play an international game thinking its not important. Yes World Cup is there but that바카라s a different format, it바카라s 50 overs.

바카라But it is an important series for a lot of boys who if they eventually do well here will be able to put a strong case going forward.바카라 

We don바카라t need to prove anything to anyone 

In a scathing column after the semifinal loss, former England captain Michael Vaughan wrote that India has achieved absolutely nothing since winning the ODI World Cup at home in 2011 and has been the most under-performing white-ball team in the history.

Asked about Vaughan바카라s remarks, the all-rounder said, 바카라I don바카라t think we need to prove anything to anyone.

바카라Obviously when you don바카라t do well, people will have their opinion, which we respect. I understand people have different point of views,바카라 Pandya said.

바카라Being at the international level, I don바카라t think we need to prove anything to anyone. It바카라s a sport, you keep trying to get better and eventually when the result is supposed to happen it will happen.

바카라There are things we need to work on, going forward we will rectify and work on it,바카라 he added.
