Currently, with India losing the fifth and final Test match against England, the entire team and team management have faced heavy criticism for how things are being managed behind closed doors in the Indian team. Rohit Sharma, who has been handed the captaincy of the Indian team for all formats, having missed the final and crucial Test match as he tested positive for COVID-19. in his absence, Jasprit Bumrah Declared as captain and with no prior experience of leading any team at any level, Bumrah looked completely disoriented, costing India matches and series, especially in that match. Along with the strategy with which the Indian team went ahead.

To manage the workload of senior players, especially those playing in all three formats, the BCCI has a system where players are given breaks at regular intervals. But for the time being, the system has gone for a toss and the players are in no mood to participate as they are choosing and leaving bilateral series of their own accord. At the forefront of such conduct is none other than Indian captain Rohit Sharma.

with IPL The picks of Rohit Sharma, concluding in May 2022. Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami were given breaks as South Africa had to play India, and somehow, the entire management took the Proteas very lightly. The idea certainly backfired and before anyone knew anything, the visitors had trailed India 2-0 in the 5-match T20I series. When the caravan moved to Ireland, India advanced with a group of youngsters who fought for their place and put up a decent show against the marginally weaker Irish side.

The Indian captain has not played any international cricket so far, after he and his team, the mighty Mumbai Indians pulled out of IPL 2022. Rohit will now return as the captain of the Indian team when they lock horns with England for the white-ball series. Including 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs.

The BCCI earlier today announced the Indian squad for their ODI tour of the West Indies and what caught the attention was that Rohit Sharma was rested again. Shikhar Dhawan Has been named as the captain of the Indian team. Considering Rohit’s record as the captain of Mumbai Indians, BCCI made him the captain of the team keeping in mind the T20I World Cup and ODI World Cup.

But as of now, it seems that BCCI rules are being flouted and players are busy in breaks and less interested in wearing the blue jersey.
