1 out of 4 would have worked… After being embarrassed by New Zealand, BCCI was seen in action, Rohit-Virat, Ashwin and Jadeja badly trapped.

Cricket News Desk. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will evaluate the three-match series against New Zealand as a 0-3 defeat and the career of some experienced players in this format may end after the team's tour of Australia. The BCCI is planning to phase out experienced players before the start of the next cycle of the WTC (World Test Championship).

There is a possibility that the five-match Test series against Australia could be the last for at least two of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. All four players are at the last stage of their international career.

What did Rohit Sharma say on India's test future?
When Rohit was asked about his views on India's Test future, he said, 'Look, I don't think we can think that far ahead. It is important to focus on the next series, which is Australia. The series against Australia is very important for us. Instead of thinking about what happens next, we will try to focus on the team's progress under the leadership of BCCI stalwarts and selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar.

The blame may fall on super seniors

A senior BCCI official said on condition of anonymity, 'It will definitely be evaluated and it may be informal as the team will leave for Australia on November 10. It is a big defeat but the Australia series is around the corner and the team has already been announced, so there will be no tinkering at the moment.

He said, 'There is a strong possibility that if India does not qualify for the WTC final in England, some of these four names will not be in the five-match series against England. All four probably played their last Test match on home ground. It is believed that BCCI wants to avoid repeating the story of 2011 when there was a big decline in the team's performance.
The board selectors, especially chairman Agarkar and head coach Gambhir, will have to talk to veteran cricketers about this plan.

BCCI can give opportunity to young players

The Indian team's race to qualify for the WTC final is still going on. If the team fails to do so, its campaign in the next WTC cycle will begin with a five-match Test series on the England tour. It will start from June 20. By giving a chance to players like Sai Sudarshan and Devdutt Padikal, who seem ready for international cricket, the selection committee may be forced to consider the long-term possibilities.

With Washington Sundar emerging as a strong prospect for the next 10 years, there could be discussions over Ashwin's future in India after the Australia series ends. Jadeja, who is in good fitness and has batted well on foreign pitches, may be retained, although in Indian conditions he has a strong option ready in the form of Axar Patel. Human rights are also progressing rapidly in this regard.

Rohit-Virat's performance was poor
Rohit has scored 1210 runs in 35 Test innings at an average of 37.18 since February 2021. He has been able to score only two half-centuries in the last 10 innings and has scored less than 10 runs in six innings. Kohli's performance has been more disappointing. He has scored 742 runs in the last 25 innings at an average of 30.91. Rohit has scored four centuries during this period, whereas Kohli has scored only one century and that too on the flat pitch of Ahmedabad. Jasprit Bumrah has been made the vice-captain of the team. But considering its workload management, it cannot be prolonged for a long time. Shubman Gill or Rishabh Pant can be given the command of the Test team.
