India vs Bangladesh: Rohit Sharma and management grapple with selection dilemmas as visitors prepare for ODIs

The auditions for the next year’s ODI World Cup have started with the team management roping in some new faces alongside the experienced campaigners. India haven’t been able to win an ICC Trophy since 2013 (barring the Asia Cup) and the wait extended after they bowed out of the T20 World Cup following a thumping defeat to England.

The team did face a lot of heat on social media and from the fans.

But let bygones be bygones. It’s time for the unit to move on and focus on the big tournament scheduled to take place in India next year.

After the T20 World Cup was over, the Men in Blue travelled to New Zealand for a three-match T20I series and as many ODIs. The senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were rested from both the series while Hardik Pandya led the side in T20Is and Shikhar Dhawan donned the captain’s hat in ODIs.
