“I think you can sometimes go down a bit of a rabbit hole thinking that you’re going to play a five-over game and then it ends up being a T20 and you kind of play it slightly differently.

“So I think we’ve just got to prepare as if it is a T20 game and hope that the rain stays away.

“And then if it doesn’t, then we’ve got to adapt.”
