The Former Pakistan cricketer, Kamran Akmal star slams the team selectors and didn't minch while talking about the two legends in the cricket world. Soon after the BCCI announced on the 5th July the India's squad for T20Is against West Indies, it seems like many hearts were broken.
It is the fourth T20I series in a row when both Kohli and Rohit have been rested and rumours have started to circulate that this could be the end of the road for the legendary duo. As expected, Hardik Pandya will lead the T20I series against the Windies and there have been several new faces added in the squad.
Akmal said 'I think it is going to create a lot of problems..'
The Former Pakistan star player shared his disappointment and slams team selectors on his official youtube channel, where he said
"When there's an ICC event, I believe these two players have much cricket left. When these two are there, the other team is under-pressure. Without these two, no matter which ICC event it is, you can't make a team. These are all-time greats. Virat Kohli is next-level in international cricket. He's inspiring a generation with his passion and performances. You need to cash it as much as you can."
"To sideline them straightaway... I think it is going to create a lot of problems. Rohit Sharma has scored hundreds in T20Is, he's a big game player, has the ability to single-handedly win matches. You can easily play these two in T20s. You don't need to make them captain. But when you play in ICC event, you cannot make teams without them. I still hope I can see these two players in 2024 World Cup."
Akmal urged BCCI to not remove the Sharma and Kohli from the T20I and even said that the selectors don't need to make them the captains. Nevertheless, he keeps his hopes alive and would like to see them in the 2024 World Cup.
