In the T20 World Cup held in Australia, India, as usual, made a miserable exit in the knockout round and are next playing in New Zealand. The young cricket team that won the T20 Cup under the leadership of Hardik Pandya is playing the ODI series under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan next, without the seniors including captain Rohit Sharma, who performed modestly in the World Cup. In that way, the Indian board has started an effort to create a new team under the leadership of Pandya by giving young players a chance before the 2024 World Cup in T20 cricket.
However, Rohit Sharma is expected to continue as captain in the 2023 ICC World Cup on Indian soil. In case of an even more disappointing result, the BCCI has started work on appointing a new ODI captain to replace the 36-year-old. Because BCCI appointed Virat Kohli as captain for not winning the World Cup. But he won the bilateral series as usual and failed to register a win in the thrilling Asia Cup and T20 World Cup.

Don’t play IPL:
More than that, he often rests in the name of workload, and for the first time in history, India had to appoint 7 different players as captain this year. Also, Rohit Sharma, who is struggling in batting after taking over the captaincy, is facing severe criticism. Along with that, important players like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah continue to play in the IPL series and rest in the name of workload for the country, which has left everyone dissatisfied.
Also, the fans are accusing these people who are showing action in the IPL series that they are working for India. In this case, if they want to win the 2023 World Cup, the main players should not play in the 2023 IPL series, Rohit Sharma’s youth coach Dinesh Late said. And the following is what he said in a recent interview in a head-scratching way that skipper Rohit Sharma should play continuously with the team instead of taking frequent rests.

“I don’t think we have had a consistent team in the last 7-8 months. If we want to prepare for the World Cup, we need to build a stable squad first. But in the last 7 months some people suddenly open, some suddenly come and bowl. In that sense the current team lacks consistency. Similarly, there should be no talk of workload for the players. Because you can’t attribute workload when all the players in the world make cricket a job.”
Congratulations to Shri Dinesh Lad for achieving this extraordinary feat ????

“And when you’re high enough to play at international level, you have to play all the matches without excuses. Also, playing for the country is not a position of honor. One should treat it as a duty and play with dedication in the international arena. But doesn’t the same workload come with the IPL series? If you want to win world cup don’t play IPL first. That’s all I can say about it. The decision rests with the players.”
“Remember that you are playing in the IPL because you played for India and your state before that. If you perform well in the international arena, your salary will also increase in the IPL series. Also I think Rohit Sharma doesn’t need to rest often. “If you want to prepare for the World Cup, you have to play responsibly in all the matches as a captain.”
