Now lined up to feature in his second international 50-over contest, Jangoo is raring to go.“Preparation has been good,” Jangoo said after the team’s first training session in Ireland on May 15. “Our first outing today. Got a good hit and looking forward to the series.”This marks Jangoo’s first international tour, and while the occasion could overwhelm many newcomers, the wicketkeeper/batsman is embracing the challenge as a learning experience.“It’s all about improving on my weaknesses. (I’m) not perfect but working on certain things in my batting right now—rotating the strike and boundary hitting. Just working on those things in training and hopefully it could pay off in the game,” he added.
