Shikhar Dhawan finds himself out of the Indian team less than three months after captaining the ODI side in New Zealand but the 37-year-old opener still wants to play the World Cup at home later this year.

Dhawan was dropped from the side following a lean run which included the three games in Bangladesh in December.

“They (ups and downs) are part of life. With time, with experience you learn how to handle them with ease. I find lot of strength in them. I did my best. If somebody is doing better than my best, that is fine.

“That is why that person is there and I am not there... If it (chance to play in the WorldCup) comes it is good, if it doesn’t come that is also good. I have achieved a lot and I am happy with that. I don’t get desperate about it,” said Dhawan, who has played 34 Tests,167 ODIs and 68 T20s.
