You did not ask about him? Rohit Sharma flares up, reveals why he and Virat Kohli are not playing T20Is
Team India skipper Rohit Sharma and his predecessor Virat Kohli have given themselves ample time to rest and stay fresh for the big ODI assignments in 2023 including the Asia Cup followed by the ICC Cricket World Cup. Both Kohli and Rohit have not played T20Is for India since the T20 World Cup last year in Australia and their continued absence has given rise to speculations that they are being slowly phased out from the format. As head coach Rahul Dravid mentioned earlier during one of the home T20 international assignments that the senior players will focus on ODI cricket in particular since it is a World Cup year and then the Test matches with World Test Championship still to be held then. Responding to the question of senior players resting from T20Is at a LaLiga event in Mumbai on Thursday, August 10, Rohit said, "Last year also we did the same thing — the T20 World Cup was there, so we didn't play one-day cricket.
