It's a situation where we still have to sit and talk. It's not just my decision but I am very much interested in playing in the World Cup.
The main thing is if we can rotate a bit and not necessarily before a series is decided. If we play against India and we happened to be three up, you are going to see a chance where guys are given a rest.
The good thing is that a lot of the inexperienced players did really well, Devon Smith and Ryan Hinds with the bat and Tino Best and Fidel Edwards with the ball.
I think the guys are all geared up. I think we understood where we all went wrong in Melbourne and we are working at it. We've got a couple of new faces, a new captain, and I think it is more of your natural ability comes out in the Test arena rather than the one-day arena.
I think you've got to match them, stride for stride, but you've also got to be very consistent and it's got to be over a long period of time.
