Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday advised young cricketers to score lots of runs in the Ranji Trophy. He said that young players should not care about the selection of Team India and should focus on their game. If he keeps scoring runs in domestic cricket, then the way for Team India will open itself. This season Ranji has been dominated by young players. Yash Dhul and Sarfaraz Khan have batted brilliantly and scored centuries.
Young players should learn from Vihari, Shreyas
India will play the first match of the T20 series against Sri Lanka in Lucknow from Thursday. On the eve of this, Rohit said in the press conference- I would just say that young players should keep scoring runs. Players like Hanuma Vihari, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill were also able to make a place in Team India in the same way. Young players don’t have to get into anyone’s talk and keep doing their job.
Team India is selected on many parameters
Rohit said about the team selection – the decision on the team would have been taken after looking at the pitch, the opposition team and many parameters. We also have to play three consecutive Tests after the T20 series. Have to play two Tests against Sri Lanka and one against England. We will have full focus on that too. The squad has been announced for the two Tests, while the decision for the England tour will be taken later.
Rohit praises Sanju Samson
Young wicketkeeper Sanju Samson has also been included in the squad for the T20I series against Sri Lanka. Captain Rohit said that Samson is a talented batsman. We have seen him bat explosively in IPL. Whenever he bats in IPL, he plays a tremendous innings. He has the ability to move forward.

Need a player like Samson in World Cup
Rohit said- Samson makes a tremendous shot on the backfoot. Apart from this, his pick up pull and cut shot is also superb. Samson also plays tremendous shots over the bowlers. When we go to Australia for the T20 World Cup this year, we will need a batsman who can play such shots. This talent is visible in Samson. I hope he will try to make full use of the opportunity given. Apart from this, Rohit described Mohammad Siraj as fit for the T20 series.
