T20 World Cup: BCCI angry with India’s defeat, many senior players will not be seen playing T20 next year
In the T20 World Cup, India got a crushing defeat to England in the semi-final match played on Thursday, whose noise is being heard everywhere. Now probably changes can be seen in the Indian team. BCCI sources said on Thursday that India’s T20 team will see major changes in the next 24 months. It is believed that senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin will be gradually dropped from the team.
This could be Ashwin and Dinesh Karthik’s last tournament
At the same time, this could be the last tournament of Ashwin and Dinesh Karthik in a shorter format like T20. BCCI can take a big decision on Kohli and Rohit in the future as well.
Rohit Sharma, who was looking emotional after the team’s humiliating defeat in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, was consoled by head coach Rahul Dravid.
At the same time, after the match, Rahul Dravid was the first to speak on behalf of India in front of the media.
Next year will not see most seniors playing T20s
Till the next T20 World Cup, the Indian team will have played several series as well, so it is possible that Hardik Pandya will have the captaincy who will lead the new team. According to media reports, a BCCI source told that the board never asks anyone to retire. This is a personal decision. But yes, in 2023 most senior cricketers will be asked to focus on ODIs and Test matches. The source added that most seniors will not be seen playing T20s next year.
This is not the right time to make a decision
India’s head coach Rahul Dravid while talking to the media said that we have many good players and this is not the right time to take any decision.
He further said that we will play enough matches and we will move forward. India will try to prepare for the next World Cup. Let us tell you that India will host the 50-over World Cup in 2023 in October and November.
The Series will start with New Zealand next week
On the other hand, India will tour New Zealand from November 18 for three T20s and three ODIs. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul have been rested in these matches. Shikhar Dhawan will captain the team while Rishabh Pant has been made the vice-captain for the entire tour.
Also, this team includes young players like Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson whose talent will be tested in these matches. So let’s not forget Prithvi Shaw, who has been overlooked time and again during coach Dravid’s tenure. Rohit and Kohli are huge names and the BCCI is likely to decide on the next phase of their careers.
