Kapil Dev questions India possibly adopting rotation policy; asks will you drop Rohit or Kohli for a final

Indian team is slated to play a lot of matches in coming calendar year which started with home NZ series.

Kapil Dev questioned whether new Team India management will adopt rotation policy | TwitterLegendary India all-rounder Kapil Dev has raised questions over the new Team India management possibly adopting the rotation policy to manage the workload of players in the bio-bubble era of cricket.

With India having ample depth and no shortage of talent, with a pool of almost 50 players ready to play international cricket, rotation policy is a tempting option, however, Kapil queried whether it will fit within the team.

"I am not too sure about it (rotating Indian players). I guess the people within the BCCI can take a call on it. I should not be a single person's thought process. A group of players and BCCI officials should sit and figure out the amount of cricket that needs to be played. If you rotate players, it can land you in tricky positions," former India captain Kapil said on Uncut.

The rotation policy has been made famous by the England team, but it has had its controversies. England stuck rigorously to their policy of resting players which led to Jonny Bairstow missing the first two Test matches and Moeen Ali flying back to England after playing just one Test, despite traveling with the team to Sri Lanka and India.

"What if it is a final and you are forced to drop both Rohit and Kohli? There is going to be endless criticism. That is why this rotation policy is beyond me. Like I said, group of players should get together and if they believe it is the right way forward, then why not," added Kapil.
