Former Australian cricket captain Aaron Finch has weighed in on India's World Cup strategy, advocating for priority to be given to the fitness of star opener Abhishek Sharma. Finch suggests that even if Sharma misses the crucial match against Pakistan, his full recovery should be prioritized for the tournament's later stages.

Abhishek Sharma missed the Group A match against Namibia due to a severe stomach infection that resulted in a two-day hospitalization. Finch believes that resting Sharma could be vital, as his extraordinary batting capabilities could greatly influence India's performance in the latter phases of the World Cup.

Commenting on Australia's surprising defeat to Zimbabwe in Colombo, Finch remarked on the opponents' deserving win. He also highlighted the necessity of increased involvement of Associate nations in cricket's global calendar, despite its complexity due to scheduling constraints.
