Selectors have to take the call overlooking beyond Rohit, Virat for next T20 World Cup: Gautam Gambhir When India's T20I squad for the series against Sri Lanka, to be held in January 2023, was announced late on Tuesday evening, it had a look very similar to the one which played against New Zealand: no Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The move to not include the highly-experienced duo spells out that the build-up for the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup and the transition for the team in the shortest format of the game has begun. Former India opener Gautam Gambhir believes the call on the fut...
