BCCI in action mode after shameful defeat from New Zealand, sword hanging on seniors

Not thinking too far ahead: Rohit

This Australian series could be the last for captain Rohit, Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. This has been claimed in a report. After losing the third Test against New Zealand, captain Rohit said about his future, 'At the moment I am not thinking too far ahead.' Rohit further said, 'It is very important that we focus on the next series which is Australia. We are not going to think about anything else except the Australia series. This series is important for me right now. We will focus completely on that.

Indian team will tour Australia on November 10

A senior BCCI source said, 'A review will definitely be done. The Indian team will leave for Australia on 10 November. This is a big defeat (New Zealand series). Australia series is around the corner and the team has already been announced. There will be no change in this situation.

All four seniors played their home tests!

He further said, 'If the Indian team fails to qualify for the WTC final to be held in England, then one thing will become clear that four senior players will not be selected for the England tour. Whatever the case, all four are likely to play Tests at their respective homes.

Like 2011, this can happen this time too

The same thing happened after 2011 when senior players were dropped from the team. Then young players were included in the team. In such a situation, a similar plan can be made this time also. However, for this, chief selectors Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir will have to discuss this issue.

Australia will have to beat 4-0 to reach the WTC final

To reach the final of the World Test Championship, the Indian team will have to win the 5-match Test series against Australia 4-0. If the team loses even one match during this period, the team may be out of the WTC finals. If India fails to qualify for this cycle, the next cycle will begin with a 5-match Test series in England from June 20 next year. In such a situation, the selection committee will have to choose those players who can lay the foundation of the team.
