Michael Clarke 'surprised' by Kohli's decison to skip Afghan Test

Kolkata, May 9 (CRICKETNMORE) - Australia's World Cup winning captain Michael Clarke said on Wednesday he is "surprised" by Virat Kohli's decision to skip India's one-off Test against Afghanistan next month in order to play for English county side Surrey and

"India will go into the World Cup as one of the favourites. The experience of the players will play a part. They have some wonderful spinners. India have a very strong ODI team. They have so many match-winners. In 2015, we won the World Cup because we had match winners," he said."I don't think the team is missing anything. They have got it right there. I think it's about preparation and form and playing your best cricket at the right time. "You have got the experience. I feel MS Dhoni has to be part of that World Cup squad. It's a good mixture of youth and experience," he added.Clarke also pointed out that the IPL has so many Indian captains and that is a huge advantage."What it means is when India select their 11 players or 15 players for the squad, you are assured some of those players will use their leadership experience into the Indian setup and that's what you want," the former Kangaroo skipper pointed out.
