Its Important To Get Youngsters In Whenever There's An Opportunity: Rohit Sharma
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: On the eve of the Test series opener against England, India captain Rohit Sharma expressed the importance of giving youngsters an opportunity in the longer format, adding that the team doesn’t want to be in a situation where they are including a newbie in overseas conditions.
With Virat Kohli unavailable for first two Tests due to personal reasons, Rajat Patidar has been called into the squad, ahead of more experienced cricketers like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane.
"We actually did think about going back to an experienced player (to fill Kohli's absence). But then when will the youngsters get their opportunity, and that’s something we thought as well. Leaving an experienced player or not considering them is very hard because of the amount of runs they have scored, the kind of experience they have had and amount of games they have won for us. It’s very hard to ignore all of that.”
