Pathan warned the selection committee of the future and the reasons why it won’t be a successful call for Team India, even though he does understand the cause of it.For India’s next tour of South Africa, which starts next week, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the squads for all three forms on Thursday. India will play two Tests, three T20Is, and a number of ODIs. But former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has been vocally against a particular BCCI ruling that has gone overlooked up to this point. Pathan warned the selection committee of the future and the reasons why it won’t be a successful call for Team India, even though he does understand the cause of it.
The BCCI selected two different captains for the T20Is and ODIs after regular captain Rohit Sharma decided to take a break during the whit-ball leg of the trip. After leading a revamped Team India to a 4-1 T20I series victory over Australia, Suryakumar Yadav has been kept in his position, and KL Rahul has been chosen the ODI team’s captain. On the other hand, Rohit will return for the crucial Test series starting on December 26.I am not a huge fan of signs pointing to the future, but this one might be. We have been debating whether or not to implement split captaincy for a while now. It’s true that workload management has been implemented here, which explains why there are so many captains and large squads.
