The duo’s lack from 2 succeeding series had actually stired rumours that Hardik Pandya would take control of as routine T20 captain Pandya led the group to a 2-1 T20 series win over Sri Lanka previously this month and has actually been called captain for the New Zealand matches, beginning with Friday’s opener.
Speaking ahead of the last one-day global versus New Zealand on Tuesday, Dravid stated India would prioritise the 50-over format entering into this year’s Cricket World Cup.
“There are specific concerns we require to offer to specific white-ball competitions,” stated Dravid, whose group currently have an undisputable 2-0 lead in the ODI series, informed press reporters in Indore.
India host Australia for 4 Tests beginning February 9, followed by 3 ODI matches. “So the top priority after in 2015’s T20 World Cup has actually been these 6 video games and Virat has actually played all these 6 video games and he will get a little bit of a break in addition to Rohit,” Dravid stated, describing the ODIs versus Sri Lanka and New Zeland.
Dravid was pushed even more on India’s prepare for a split captaincy in various formats. “That’s a concern you require to ask the selectors however currently, I do not believe so,” the 50-year-old stated.
