Gambhir said that it is not his job to select the team, but the selectors choose the team. It is only after the announcement of the team that their job is to choose the playing XI. England tour will be very important for Gambhir after a consecutive defeat in the last two series against New Zealand and Australia. The tour can prove to be decisive for his coaching tenure.
Rohit-Virat’s disappointing performance in Australia tour
The recent Test performance of both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was disappointing. On the tour of Australia, Virat Kohli scored a total of 190 runs in 9 innings, including a century in Perth Test. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma’s performance was very poor, due to which he had to sit out of the final Test in Sydney. However, Rohit had clarified that the decision was taken in the team interest.
Will Rohit-Kohli play in 2027 World Cup?
Gambhir, who was the coach of the Champions Trophy winning team recently, said that if Rohit and Virat performed well, they can also play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. He said, “Age is not a hindrance until the performance is continuously good. When the player retired is their personal decision. The selectors or coaches do not take this decision. If they are playing well, their place will be sure in the team.”
Gambhir clarified the selection process
Gambhir said at the ABP News Summit, “The coach is not a selector. It is necessary for the public to know that the selection of the team is done by the selectors. The work of the coach is just to choose the playing XI from the selected players.”
