After the Test, now the captain of India’s ODI team has also become Shubman Gill. Ajit Agarkar -led selection committee announced the ODI and T20 team for the Australian tour. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been included in the ODI team. However, Rohit Sharma will now play as a specialist batter.
Rohit Sharma has been removed or removed from the captaincy, it is not completely clear. However, from the statement of the chief selector Ajit Agarkar, it seems that he is probably removed from the captaincy. During the team’s announcement, Ajit Agarkar stressed that the selectors were not in favor of keeping separate captains for the three formats.
Ajit Agarkar said in the press conference, ‘It is practically impossible to keep three different captains for all three formats. ODI cricket is currently the lowest played format. Our focus is on the upcoming T20 World Cup. Want to give Gill time to adjust.
