Team India: In Team India, the debate about the presence of aged players has intensified. There are two senior players who are no longer active in all three formats, but despite this, they remain in the team. When there is a lot of talented young players in the country, opportunities are getting limited for them. This question is now arising again and again whether it is right to stay in the team for a long time only on the basis of experience?
Two big names of Team India (Team India) have already announced retirement from T20 and Test formats. During IPL 2024, both these players said goodbye to their Test career, while after winning the T20 World Cup, they also left the format.
After saying goodbye to T20 and Test format, now these two players are only active in ODI cricket. His presence makes Team India the experience strong, but the question is whether this is the direction of the future.
These two players are none other than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, whose captaincy and batting gave India many memorable victories. But now that they are at the last stop of their career.
Due to the continuous presence of these two, doors are seen closed for players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rajat Patidar, Sanju Samson. The selectors also avoid experimenting due to experienced names.
Cricket Australia (CA) has indicated that these two veterans can be farewell to these two giants during the visit to India in October-November. CA’s CEO Tod Greenberg said that this would probably be the last time when Kohli and Rohit would be seen playing on the Australian land.
Now the question is whether these players will declare retirement themselves or the selectors will have to take a big decision? When it comes to preparing the future team, it is necessary to give the youth constantly.
Experience is important, but if he becomes a hindrance in the development of new talents, then it is the beauty of cricket to leave at the right time. Every player has a round and then there is a time when he has to retreat and make a way for the new generation.
