Indian Cricket Team: Big change coming up in Indian Cricket in January, BCCI mulling to appoint separate captains for ODI & T20 squads: Follow LIVE UPDATES
Is it Demotion for Rohit Sharma? The possible step of appointing two captains clearly means that Indian team’s poor show at the T20 World CUP will cost Rohit Sharma his T20 Captaincy. But when InsideSport posed the same question to the BCCI official that will Rohit lose his captaincy because of the T20 World CUP debacle?
“It’s not about losing captaincy. It’s about future and decreasing load for Rohit. See these guys are not getting any younger. We feel we need fresh approach and fresh legs for T20 Squad”, added the official from the BCCI.
Meanwhile, earlier on Saturday another top official from the BCCI had confirmed to InsideSport that they have called for a PERFORMANCE REVIEW METTING.
BCCI will call coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma and ex-skipper Virat Kohli for the meeting. The meeting will be convened by BCCI Secretary and disastrous performance of Indian team will be discussed and reviewed.
“We are calling them for a meeting. We are taken aback by what happend in Semifinal, obviously changes are required. But no decision would be taken without hearing their side. Rohit, Rahul, Virat’s inputs will be taken and the future course of action for Indian T20 Squad will be taken“, confirmed the top BCCI official to InsideSport.
India in T20 WC – Indian Team Performance Review in offing? According to information available with InsideSport, BCCI is also not too happy with the performance of Chetan Sharma led Selection committee. Their performance will also be review and in all certainty Chetan is set to be replaced.
It is not clear if the the Chairman of Selection Committee also has been called for Performance Review meeting or not.
Are seniors being booted out? The next T20 World Cup takes place in the West Indies and the USA in 2024. BCCI is of the view, most of the oldies in the squad will themselves get phased out.
The BCCI official said, they are not concerned about the individuals but about TEAM INDIA.
“We are not concerned about the individuals. They are capable to take their own calls. We are concerned about Indian cricket, team India. What happened against ENGLAND and what has been happening in KNOCKOUTS should stop. All our decision making will be done keeping this thing in mind on how to end this KNOCKOUT ROT”.
Indian team members who can be booted out from T20 SET UP?
- The average age of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup was 30.6, making them one of the oldest squads in the tournament.
- At 37, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik was the oldest player and has certainly played his last match for India.
- R.Ashwin is another one who is unlikely to get a role with T20 TEAM.
- Rohit Sharma (35), Virat Kohli (33), Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (32), Mohammed Shami may also be fazed out.
