And of course, the goal is absolutely to win the World Cup and whatever it takes, I'm absolutely ready."Kohli said the demands of a 50-over World Cup made it one of cricket's toughest challenges, particularly with the tournament set to be played away from home."The intensity of a 50-over World Cup is greater than anything.

And to maintain that intensity for 10 games in a big tournament and World Cup is a big deal.

Also now, it's in foreign conditions.

It takes a lot out of you."Former captain Rohit Sharma, who also plays only ODIs for India, said he remained fully motivated by the prospect of another World Cup campaign."The thought will never cross my mind that the business I had is finished," Rohit said."As long as you're playing, there is always something to look forward to.

And I'm looking forward to the World Cup."Kohli and Rohit were both named in India's squad for the three-match ODI series against West Indies.

The opening match will be played in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.
