Indian cricket needs a new strategy

The Indian cricket team, which was defeated in the recent home Test series, appeared comfortable while playing the Twenty-twenty games. While the shorter version ended in a draw, with both teams winning a match each, the body language of the Indian cricketers looked much better. Frankly, I did not understand why the rookie pace bowlers were allowed to bowl the last few overs of the match.

So, create three separate teams for the three formats of the game. Let there be an exclusive Test team, ODI team , and T20 team. Ideally, I would like to see three captains, and specialist batsmen and bowlers for each format. Such a strategy will ensure that there will be variety, a larger pool to select the team from, and more opportunities for youngsters.

There is no point in continuing with the old strategy that puts too much emphasis on individual records and letting the greats play all forms of the game. Individual scores really matter when it results in victory or saves India from defeats.

It's time to change Indian cricket. We are repeating the same mistakes. Let us try something new and tap the talent available in this country.
