Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has revealed that Rishabh Pant, who in general is an emotional person, was quite low after 2019 World Cup snub. The young wicketkeeper-batsman was, however, later called in as cover during the World Cup for injured Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan. 

Quashing all rumours, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead has affirmed that Kane Williamson is the right man and added that the latter will continue as New Zealand’s skipper across all formats of the game. Stead further admitted that he was 'a wee bit hurt' by the heartbreaking 2019 WC final loss.

Irfan Pathan has stated that lack of planning cost Virat Kohli’s Indian team the 2019 Cricket World Cup, with a semi-final exit against New Zealand. Talking about planning, Pathan pointed out how the team struggled to field a proper eleven, including having problems with the No.4 position.

Gautam Gambhir has stated that India, despite being a dominant force in league stages, have lacked the mental toughness to succeed in the knock-out stages of the tournament. The former Indian opener has also added that the team has failed to muster enough belief on their ability in big games.
