Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif reckons that change of guard in Indian cricket will not adversely have an effect on its model for the reason that nation has sufficient depth in expertise aside from monetary would possibly to resist the churning.
The BCCI lately eliminated Virat Kohli as ODI skipper and later the star batter introduced quitting management in Tests as nicely. He had already give up T20 captaincy.
The method by which all of the latest developments occurred and the controversy created offered a poor image of Indian cricket. However latif mentioned none of it ought to adversely have an effect on Indian cricket.
“They have a strong base in the IPL and Indian cricket is now established as financially very strong so eventually I don’t think these recent changes or happenings should have any bearing on Indian cricket as a brand,” Latif mentioned on the ‘Cricket Baaz ‘ Youtube channel.
“I feel rather a lot now relies on how Rohit Sharma handles the crew however he has his personal type of main the aspect and he has already achieved rather a lot with Mumbai Indians within the IPL.
“It stays to be seen how motivated he shall be to captain in Tests. Kohli introduced vitality and function to his captaincy and crew.”
Latif although felt the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) erred in eradicating Kohli as captain of the One-day crew.
“I feel it was a case of getting dealt with issues the flawed manner and no manner of going again as nicely. I do know from private expertise having gone by it myself that in such a state of affairs when a long-serving captain decides to step down or is eliminated it’s by no means doable that he wouldn’t have had discussions with the board prime officers.”
“When I stepped down as captain in 2004 it was solely after I spoke with our board chairman. That is why I’m saying I feel the BCCI has made a mistake in the way in which it dealt with this specific difficulty. It just isn’t good for Indian cricket.”
The former wicketkeeper-batsman mentioned it was by no means simple to alter a captain who has been round there as a frontrunner for thus a few years.
“When you have someone as a leader for five years or more and so successful as captain that obviously they are people in the team who are loyal to him and it does disturb the dressing room environment.”
Latif mentioned that India’s defeats in South Africa had been a results of the unsure surroundings within the Indian crew. The crew misplaced each the Test and ODI sequence.
“I am not saying anyone deliberately didn’t want to perform, every professional wants to do well but when the environment in a team changes it does affect the players in many ways.”
