Talks will be held on the future of several senior Indian players after the Test series debacle against New Zealand. The 0-3 series whitewash is India’s first-ever whitewash on home soil.
There is a high possibility that the five-match Test series against Australia could be the final one for at least 2 of the four seniors among Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, who are in the last leg of their international careers.
An important discussion can take place between the head of selectors Ajait Agarkar, Gautam Gambhir and Rohit in the coming weeks to discuss the future of the ageing players.
“Stocks will be taken certainly and it could be of informal nature since the team leaves for Australia on November 10. But this has been a huge debacle but, with Australia series round the corner and the squad already announced, there won’t be any tinkering,” a BCCI source told PTI.
“But if India doesn’t qualify for WTC final in England, one can be rest assured that all four super seniors won’t be on that flight to UK for the ensuing five-Test series. In any case, all four have likely played their final Test at home together,” the source added.
