IND vs AUS squad announcement live: Why India Decided to move forward with a New Captain?
Ajit Agarkar recently shed light on the thought process behind India’s decision to appoint a new captain,
Agarkar says: "A couple of things really. Firstly, it's practically impossible to have three different captains for three formats, just in terms of planning. Obviously, at some stage, you've got to start looking at where the next World Cup is. It's also a format which is played the least now. So you don't get that many games to actually give the next guy, or if there is going to be another guy, that much time to prepare himself or plan. And we're two years away still. That might look like a long time, but we don't quite know how many one-day games we might play. Closer to the World Cup, we might end up playing a little bit more than what we have.
But the last one-day game we played was, what, 8th or 9th March in Champions Trophy. And the next one we play is in October 19th. So it is a bit of a challenge with one-day cricket at the moment. Of course, the focus has been on T20 World Cup. But surely we'll start planning for that World Cup to come. So as a plan, it gives the next guy enough time to plan with whatever games that we have coming. And it is very difficult to have three different captains for three formats. In terms of not just selectors, but more importantly, even for the coach, to plan with three different people is never easy."
Agarkar is then asked if Rohit Sharma was told that there will be a new captain.
"Yes, of course he had been told," says Ajit Agarkar.
