New Delhi. The question of who will be India’s next T20 captain has caught the attention of the entire cricket world. A major controversy has emerged within the Indian cricket administration over the appointment. According to reports, there are a lot of differences between BCCI secretary Jay Shah and new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Currently, discussions are in full swing in the cricket world regarding India’s next T20 captain. The world is closely tracking the BCCI’s decision. Earlier reports stated that Hardik Pandya, the vice-captain of the 2024 T20 World Cup-winning team, will replace former captain Rohit Sharma. However, a later report surprised everyone by claiming that Hardik may not get the captaincy. Instead, Suryakumar Yadav is being considered the frontrunner for the captaincy. Now, the latest news has brought another twist to the tale.
Differences between Gautam Gambhir and Jay Shah?
According to reports, Secretary Jay Shah wants Hardik Pandya to take over the captaincy of the T20 team. However, Gautam Gambhir does not agree with this idea. Gambhir wants to hand over the command of the T20 team to Suryakumar Yadav. This difference of opinion has come to the fore between Shah and Gambhir. Another report claims that Gambhir is against Hardik Pandya being made the captain due to his frequent injuries, taking breaks and workload management issues.
Team announcement for Sri Lanka tour expected today
Reports suggest that the Indian team for the Sri Lanka tour may be announced today. Earlier reports had suggested that the team for the three-match T20 series and three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka would be announced on Wednesday (July 17). However, the selection meeting was suddenly postponed. Now the news is that BCCI Secretary Jay Shah is going to attend the ICC meeting in Sri Lanka from July 19 to 22. So the team for the Sri Lanka tour is expected to be announced today. It is believed that India’s next T20 captain will also be announced today. The cricket world is eagerly waiting for the decision that will shape the future of Indian T20 cricket.
