New Delhi, Nov 22 (PTI) - India's ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma is unlikely to play T20 Internationals anymore and had discussed his future in the shortest format before the start of the 50-over World Cup, according to sources in the BCCI.

Rohit hasn't played a single game in the shortest format since India's T20 World Cup semi-final exit in November 2022. Hardik Pandya has mostly led the Indian team in T20Is since then.

The 36-year-old India skipper has played 148 T20Is scoring 3853 runs at a strike-rate of nearly 140 with four hundreds.

T20 is not cricket. It's just a slugging contest and the recruiters for batsmen should be more baseballers than cricketers who can put away a well pitched ball or Yorker. T20 destroys traditional cricketing techniques.

3 separate team Thursday, 23 November 2023 10:42 AM

Totally agree. That's the reason there should be at least, if not three, two separate teams of players. One for teasts and the other for limited overs ie., ODI and T20. The reasons, 1) individuals are differently talented. Some are suitable for tests and others for limited overs ie., batting approach, red ball vs white ball etc. 2) it's difficult for players to easily switch their approaches between the contradting approaches. 3) Can easiliy avoid player fatigue and nuture consistent performanes. 4) reduce injuries and allow time for recovery 5) In a crises situation it may be possible to easily find in form, fit substitutes from across formats temporarily. 6) Cricketers earn exorbitantly higher than any average SLn. So why should that privilege be open to only a handfull of players ie., instead for example of just 11 to 15 players why not be 22 to 30 or even 33 to 45.
