“I personally would like to see them” – Irfan Pathan on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s place in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Irfan Pathan expresses a desire to include Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Both players are currently on a break from the white-ball segment of the forthcoming multi-format series against South Africa.
However, it remains uncertain whether they will be available for the T20 global event and if the selectors are considering their inclusion.When questioned on the Star Sports show ‘Game Plan’ about the potential participation of Rohit and Kohli in India’s T20 World Cup squad, Pathan responded affirmatively:
“I personally would like to see them. The reason for that is where we are playing the World Cup. The World Cup is in the West Indies, and those pitches have changed.Obviously, it’s an ICC event, the pitches will be better. That’s what we hope as far as the batting conditions are concerned.”
“However, if you look at the CPL (Caribbean Premier League) and local cricket there as well, the batters need to work really hard. This is where the experience comes in.We played really well in the 50-over World Cup, except for one game, so you don’t want to change too many things.”
