'Fitness Is Important, Hardik Should Play As Much As He Can', Opines Shastri
Having acted as deputy to Rohit Sharma in India’s triumphant ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign, Hardik was one of the front-runners to take over the mantle once Rohit retired from the format. However, when the squad for the current Sri Lanka tour was announced, he was listed only as a player, with Suryakumar Yadav being named as India’s T20I captain.
Fitness and availability for all matches were the reasons why national selectors opted for Suryakumar as captain instead of Hardik. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar said in the pre-tour press conference that they preferred a player whose availability was consistently reliable.
