Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, R Ashwin Could Say Goodbye To T20Is; You May See Virat Kohli In the 2024 T20 WC – Monty Panesar

:speaking_head: Speaking to Times of India, Panesar said :
“India disappointed everyone (with the way they lost in the semifinal), and I think there are some retirements coming up.”

Former England spinner Monty Panesar feels that among senior India players only Virat Kohli is one, who could be part of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad because of his incredible fitness. He added that he doesn’t see Rohit, Karthik and Ashwin being anywhere near India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad.

“Rohit (Sharma), Dinesh Karthik and R Ashwin are the top names who could say goodbye to T20I cricket. The team management will surely have a meeting with these guys and will ask them about their plans…It’s time these players make way for young players”, he said.

“Virat is in great form. He is the fittest among all the Indian players. Age is just a number for Virat considering his super fitness. You may see him in the 2024 T20 World Cup. I am not seeing Rohit being part of that tournament, DK and Ashwin too (may not be there). There could be more players (considering T20I retirement), but these three, I think, will leave T20Is and focus on Tests and ODIs”, he further added.
