Assistant coach Sanjay Bangar confirmed that India will miss opener Shikhar Dhawan at least for the next three matches of the 2019 World Cup as India prepared to play New Zealand in Nottingham on Thursday.

Bangar said that India have not changed their preparations for the Kiwi clash even though they were thrashed by the Black Caps in the warm-up game.

“Look, every match is challenging, there are no easy matches here at this World Cup and in this format particularly,” Bangar said.

“That way nothing changes much for us, albeit the team we are facing is New Zealand or for that matter any other team. “
