The BCCI will hold a meeting to review the team’s performance and talk about the plan of action with Dravid and NCA head VVS Laxman, but no date has been set.As it was accounted for by PTI during the T20 World Cup in Australia, a source affirmed that the most common way of progressively eliminating the senior players will begin from the following year.
A decision regarding Shikhar’s future will not be made until a new selection committee has been established. However, the opinions of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid cannot be ignored,” an anonymous senior BCCI source told PTI of the developments.
Dhawan’s primary issue has been a sharp drop in his strike rate, from more than 100 percent up until the 2019 World Cup to 75 percent in 2022.The team management will undoubtedly ponder the delicate selection issues following Ishan Kishan’s double hundred, and more importantly, the freshness that he has brought to the approach.
It is difficult to drop a player who has played 167 ODIs and currently ranks third (6793) on the list of current India run-getters, behind Virat Kohli.
Dhawan should be given at least the final six ODIs in January against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, according to one school of thought, before being called up for the Australia ODIs at the end of March. However, Shubman Gill, who has been one of the most consistent ODI batters over the past six months.
Will return to the ODI fold in January, which is the counterargument to that. The outgoing committee, led by Chetan Sharma, decided, for some strange reason, to rest Gill from the Bangladesh ODIs, even though the young batter hasn’t had much work because he wasn’t even in the Asia Cup or T20 World Cup squad.
It is difficult to confine batters like Gill and Kishan to the dugout for an excessive amount of time when they are waiting in the wings. In addition, Dhawan, Rohit, and Kohli cannot all be in the same ODI XI, just as Rohit, KL Rahul, and Kohli cannot be in the top three in Twenty20 Internationals.
If a player like Gill or Kishan is in charge at the other end, even captain Rohit could play his own attacking game.
India has suffered as a result of this conservative style for some time, and England has demonstrated that the time has come for a shift.As a result, it would become increasingly challenging for Dhawan to maintain his position in the ODI team.
The fact that he won’t be playing any other format besides one-day internationals is another factor that could irritate decision-makers. Dhawan hasn’t played a first-class game in four years, but he did play one domestic T20 game (the Syed Mushtaq Ai Trophy) and two 50-over games (Vijay Hazare).
Game time cannot be replaced. Are you implying that Shikhar will begin playing ODIs in the middle of January without participating in any match practice for the next month? Even Surya is committed to participating in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy games because he wants to settle in.
When he plays in multiple formats, you can understand. A former national selector who has worked with both MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli asked.
India has a packed schedule beginning with the home season on January 3 with mostly separate squads expected for ODIs and T20Is.
Even though there is a lot of interest in Rohit’s future as T20I captain and Hardik Pandya’s likely rise to the top, the BCCI might not make a decision, but a silent phase out process might be used.Between January 3 and February 1, India play 12 white ball matches in a space of 29 days, including six against New Zealand and six against Sri Lanka.
Twelve distinct cities are served by six ODIs and twelve T20Is, which equates to 12 distinct flights. It is anticipated that T20Is and ODIs will have at least 75% to 80% different names, despite the fact that traveling is an underappreciated aspect of workload management.
