After BGT, Team India Shift Focus to White-ball Cricket

Men-in-Blue gear up for busy schedule ahead, including series against England, ICC Champions Trophy
TRIDIB BAPARNASH

As the focus shifts to white-ball cricket, starting with the bilateral limited-overs series against England later this month at home, and the ICC Champions Trophy next month in Pakistan and the UAE, all eyes will be on the composition of the Indian side, more specifically in the 50-over format, with the men-in-blue only featuring in three ODIs last year, and a total of six post the 19 November, 2023 World Cup final in Ahmedabad.

As such, when the Ajit Agarkar-led senior selection committee meets later in the week to pick the squads, they can't bank on recent international form. With retirements of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, the T20I side has already witnessed a revamp, and the Test side is already in a transition phase, and thus all eyes will be on the make-up of the ODI squad, both in terms of form and fitness of certain players.
