New Delhi [India], Former Australian captain Michael Clarke said that Team India has taken a big risk with a spin-reliant team for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup and they are favorites in the tournament because of their preparation.

The Men in Blue will play Bangladesh in their only warm-up match on June 1 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

India is the biggest threat to me in terms of who will win the World Cup. Because of the amount of cricket that India has played, their preparation has been excellent. The conditions are different for India, but there are a lot of similarities, so the players will get used to it,” the former Australian captain said, adding that before the tournament, India played a total of eight bilateral series against teams like New Zealand, Sri Lanka.
