They are getting old and have not been performing to the best of their abilities lately. You have to go ahead and bring the youth in and rotate them. So that they can get experience with people who are already experienced.”
He further added, “You will see Shreyas Iyer batting with (Virat) Kohli now. And it is going to take many years to be able to develop a game plan for the long term.
This is a Good Policy To Rotate the Players:-
In which you will see them succeed. Right there you have (famous) Krishna, who will come along with Bumrah and Shami. So it’s a good policy to rotate the players.”
