Ajit Agarkar, head selector for the BCCI, has made it plain that players must play domestic cricket while healthy and available in order to be considered for selection. However, if Agarkar tries to push the seasoned hitters too much, former England cricketer Steve Harmison believes he may be in for a difficult end. Harmison, however, believes that it was a reasonable move on his part if the former India speedster brought up playing domestic cricket to stoke the enthusiasm of the two previous captains.
The future of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in international cricket is one of the most hotly debated topics in sports these days. The ODI team was announced last week by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the three-match series against Australia, which begins on October 19. Rohit Sharma was fired as captain of the team, which was one of the announcement’s main talking points. His successor was Shubman Gill.
The 2027 ODI World Cup appears to be the primary goal, so even though Rohit and Kohli were selected as specialist batters, there is no guarantee that they will hold their positions. In terms of international cricket, many think that Rohit and Kohli’s trip of Australia may be their final appearance.
“Unfortunately, I believe that Ajit Agarkar’s future there could be nasty.
Instead of the former all-rounder, I believe the former captains will win this match. However, if Agarkar is saying this merely to stoke the flames of Kohli and Sharma, then it’s all fine. According to him, on talkSPORT Cricket, “you put your cards on the table and see what comes.”
“He hasn’t had as much of an impact in 50-over cricket as Virat has,” Harmison said of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit hasn’t had the same impact as Kohli as a player in ODI cricket, according to Harmison. In addition, the cricket player-turned-expert noted that Rohit is somewhat older than Kohli. Harmison believes that if India doesn’t have the Delhi batter for the 2027 World Cup, they may have trouble in run chases.
Kohli, in my opinion, has some stake in the outcome. He’s well-known for his reputation. Not as much, Sharma. Sharma is somewhat older. Virat has had a greater impact on cricket in the 50-over format than he has. If Virat turns around and responds, “All right, you go to the 50-over World Cup without me and leading up to it, let’s see when you’re chasing 350 in 50 overs to win against Australia or England, and you haven’t got that bloke who averages 90 winning games at number four, see where your teams at” . A messy end could result from that. Additionally, certain words might have been misinterpreted during translation,” he continued.
