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.
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.
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.
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.
