Tough decisions

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken some bold decisions. The Roger Binny-led BCCI has decided to give extension to the support staff including head coach Rahul Dravid. Despite the loss in WC final, BCCI wants Dravid to continue in the role. As expected, the India coach would have liked to have the same support staff as well and he has been given that. After retaining Dravid as the coach, BCCI wants Rohit back a T20I captain as well. A Press Trust of India report states that BCCI secretary Jay Shah will soon meet Ajit Agarkar-led panel in Delhi to discuss the squads for the tour of South Africa and the roadmap to the T20 World Cup 2024. It is being reported that with Hardik Pandya out of the South Africa T20Is, either Suryakumar Yadav or Rohit will lead the team against Proteas Men. After seeing Rohit lead so well in the Asia Cup and World Cup, BCCI are in favour of him.
