When the BCCI announced the three teams for the South Africa tour on July 17, the BCCI management did not agree with the T20 format despite Rohit Sharma’s reluctance after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the 2022 World T20. will try to convince him to lead the Indian team. An announcement for New Delhi is expected on Thursday.
BCCI chief Jay Shah meets panel leader Ajit Agarkar in the capital to discuss Men in Blue’s squad and plans ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and USA We are planning to discuss it. BCCI plans to name his full squad for the two-match Test match series.
With Rohit Sharma’s future uncertain in the shortest version of the match, it will be difficult for BCCI to convince him to lead the team. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli announced that he will not take part in the white-ball series during his visit to South Africa but will be available for Test matches.
“Yes, the question remains what will happen if Hardik comes back, but the BCCI is of the opinion that if Rohit agrees to lead in the T20Is, he will also lead in the T20 World Cup .” Although Rohit does not agree, Surya will continue to captain South Africa for T20Is,” a BCCI official said.
With regular T20 captain Hardik Pandya out for another month due to a torn ankle ligament sustained during the recently concluded ODI World Cup, should the responsibility fall to Suryakumar Yadav or himself? The question arises as to whether we should rely on Rohit Sharma Leadership Qualities. Rohit’s skills were recognized globally during his ODI World Cup in 2023.
BCCI will reportedly prioritize white-ball T20 cricket with an ICC tournament in the next six months. ODI cricket, on the other hand, will be a low priority for now. It has been announced that if Rohit Sharma is to play his T20 cricket, he will take a break from the 50-over format of the game to get fit for Test cricket.
“The BCCI has always preferred a special white-ball format with the world tournament being held within the next six months.” Post-World Cup ODIs are the third priority, with five There are too many ODIs. So, if Rohit takes the lead in the T20Is, there is a possibility that he will take a break to get fit for the Test. This will be determined by the sports science team. ”
Ajit Agarkar and the rest of the BCCI selection committee will also meet Rahul Dravid and the rest of the coaching staff to discuss the squad for the South Africa series. Sulyakumar Yadav will lead the Men in Blue in Hardik’s absence against the Australians, but he will lead the team if Rohit Sharma decides not to lead the team He would be an ideal candidate.
