Indore, Oct 22 (PTI) Former national selector Sanjay Jagdale feels Indian batting greats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should play domestic cricket to maintain match fitness, especially now that they feature in only one format.
Jagdale, also a former BCCI secretary, said the duo’s hopes of featuring in the 2027 World Cup, will ultimately depend on their form and fitness.
“The decision they’ve taken to play just one format is tough on them," Jagdale told PTI.
“They’ve both been outstanding in white-ball cricket, but if you’re not playing regularly, rustiness will creep in, like it happened with Dhoni in the IPL and even with Brian Lara, Matthew Hayden.
“A lot of cricketers, once they retire from international cricket, aren’t quite the same, it is natural," Jagdal
