Jalandhar, Jun 13: India must learn the lessons from their defeat to West Indies in the one-dayers and work on their weaknesses in time for the World Cup in the Caribbean next year, legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev said on Monday.

Kapil, who was here on a promotional visit, said although the Indian team had been performing well, it was important that it analysed its weaknesses that caused the 4-1 defeat to West Indies.

"The introspection is necessary for improvement particularly in view of the World Cup. The Indian squad should also concentrate on Sri Lankan and South African tours going to be held before the World Cup," he said.

To a question, Kapil said it was indeed a welcoming sign that bowlers were getting credit for their match winning efforts. "The scene was not so favourable in my playing days," he said.

Kapil was all for experiments in the batting order, provided they were "boosting the all-round skills of the players."
