Over the course of the three-match series, every member of the squad received an opportunity; however, it was not the first-choice contingent, since a number of players were rested and others missed out owing to injury.

The selection of the squad has proven to be a difficult task for the selectors lately, as young players have swiftly established themselves, shown their mettle, and maybe even cemented their spot.

“As far as Rahul bhai and I are concerned, we have tried our best to maintain the clarity within the team and communicate clearly to the player as to why they are dropped. You cannot leep everyone happy. This is something I have learned while captaining the team. You have to focus on the team’s goals first,” Rohit Sharma said in an interaction with Jio Cinema after Team India’s series win over Afghanistan.

“I was watching the games when I was out of the team, but I was not part of the playing team. So, I took the information from the coaching staff, and it was important to hand different situations to the players. Giving them overs where they are not comfortable bowling. Some are not comfortable bowling in the powerplay, while some are not comfortable in the death. So, we wanted to see how the guys can adapt, and I rhink we have ticked those boxes in this series,” Rohit Sharma added.

“We had discussed a lot of things prior to the series, and Iwwas away from the team for a year as well. I spoke to Rahul bhai about the team’s plans, the approach and which players are we keeping an eye on, where we want them to and all of that,” he continued.

“To an extent, having a vast talent pool becomes a challenging prospect at times. When we were focused on the ODI World Cup, the youngsters performed well in the T20s, and then when the main squad comes, some young players have to sit out. It is disappointing for them, their thinking is that,’We have performed, and yet we are out of the team,'” Rohit Sharma said.

A few players who finished the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) in outstanding form will undoubtedly cause selection issues. In the run-up to the 2024 T20 World Cup, the debate between form and experience is undoubtedly going to come up again.
