The Indian team for the Champions Trophy has been announced. Chief selectors Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma released the team of 15 members on Saturday.
During this, the mutual discussions between the Indian captain and the chief selector came out. Here Rohit did not know that the mic was on. He was seen talking to Agarkar on the decision of BCCI, in which the board has limited the presence of players’ families on foreign tours. Rohit was heard saying to Agarkar-
Now I have to sit back down with the secretary to discuss the family rules. All the players are calling me.
However, the Indian captain avoided the question of BCCI guidelines. When he was asked about BCCI’s new rules for players on tour, he said-
Who told you about these rules? Does this come from the official handle of the board? Let it be official.
In response to a question, he confirmed that he will play Ranji Trophy for Mumbai against Jammu and Kashmir. On the participation of star players in domestic matches, Rohit said that it is difficult for the players to find time due to the busy schedule of the international calendar. No player takes the top domestic tournament lightly.
Rohit was seen practicing with the Mumbai Ranji team 4 days ago on 14 January.
Highlights of Rohit Sharma…
- On playing his own Ranji Trophy… When asked about his availability, Rohit said, ‘If you look at our calendar for the last 6-7 years, it has never happened that we have been sitting at home for 45 days. This happens only when there is no international match immediately after the IPL.
- On Bumrah’s fitness… Right now we are not sure about Bumrah, so we chose Arshdeep Singh so that he can play his role if needed.
- When Siraj drops… Mohammed Siraj is not that effective. Their effectiveness decreases as the ball gets older.

4 things about Ajit Agarkar…
1. Bumrah expected to be fit till Champions Trophy Chief selector Ajit Agarkar said on Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness, ‘We are waiting for the fitness report of Jasprit Bumrah. His condition will be known from the BCCI medical team in early February.
Harshit Rana has been included in the team as Bumrah’s backup for the England ODI series. Agarkar said that it is expected that Bumrah will be fit by the Champions Trophy.
2. Fitness problem in the team, hence Gill became vice captain While announcing Gill’s appointment as vice-captain for the ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy, Agarkar said that there is a fitness problem in the team. There is no other reason other than this. Gill will also be able to get some experience from the England series.
3. BCCI guidelines are not orders On the 10 instructions of the board for the players, Agarkar said- ‘I do not think this is an order, it is one of the things on which the BCCI has considered.’ He said- Most of the players will soon play in Ranji Trophy, provided they are not injured.
4. Nair’s performance good, but no place Agarkar said on Nair’s performance, ‘Obviously when a batsman performs at this level, there is discussion, but in a team in which the average of the selected players is more than 40, it becomes difficult to make a place. Is. But if any player gets injured in future, there is no doubt that his name will be discussed.
