Statement of former coach Ravi Shastri, said- Hardik Pandya’s suggestion will be considered in the selection of T20 World Cup team

These days the craze for the Indian Premier League is in full swing across the country. The Indian Premier League is moving towards its final stage. Meanwhile, the race for the playoffs has also started intensifying. All the teams seem to be working hard to make it to the IPL playoffs.

Meanwhile, former head coach Ravi Shastri has started a new debate regarding the T20 World Cup to be held next year. He has said that many new faces can get a place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup next year. The selection committee will also pay attention to the words of Captain Hardik Pandya in the selection of these new faces.

Notably, star batsman Virat Kohli, along with Test and ODI skipper Rohit Sharma, still remains in the T20 squad plans but after the semi-final exit from last year’s T20 World Cup in Australia, senior players have been phased out. The process had started. In this regard, Ravi Shastri said, “I think they will consider giving chance to new players in the team.”

The former all-rounder said, “India is brimming with talent and the T20 World Cup is round the corner. The ongoing IPL has seen many brilliant players and their talents. It will not be a completely new team but it will have many new faces. He (Hardik) is already the captain of India in this format. If there is no fitness issue, he will continue to lead the team.

Shastri feels that like the 2007 World Cup, young players will get a chance in the upcoming tournament. At that time, under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team full of youth had won the World Cup title. Shastri believes, “The Indian team management will again go the way of the 2007 T20 World Cup.” They will spot talent and will have no dearth of options. There will also be an option for players who have captained IPL teams.

Shastri said the good thing about Hardik is that he does not have workload management issues. Hardik has not played Test matches since undergoing lower back surgery. Shastri said, “At the moment there is no problem of workload management with Hardik. Between the IPL and the ODI World Cup, the Indian team will play only four-five matches (limited overs matches). He is not a part of the Test team. He will get a chance to rest during the Test series.
