Ajay Jadeja: Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid should be on the same page when it comes to selection and experimentation.
“You must continue the process; this is the only way to learn. If you keep cutting and altering after every outcome, you will create chaos, which is nothing new in Indian cricket. It would be preferable if you could prevent this. I’m sure the captain and coach will coordinate, but it’s crucial to have that even in front of the press “On Cricbuzz, Jadeja stated.
“It’s not as if we weren’t captains or didn’t do news conferences. Certain things must be said in a news conference because they may be significant. But your team understands why it was said. Your internal team dialogues should be robust, and there is no need to justify such things in front of the public “He continued.
He also stated that there should be no doubt about squad combinations and that both the captain and coach should present a cohesive face.
“Winning and losing are part of the game, but team combinations should be clear. You must recognize that they are players with families. When people read these remarks, such things do appear at some point. Both captains and coaches should be consistent in their words in front of the media. You may argue all you want on the inside, but when you walk outside, present a united front “Jadeja said.
India will play Australia in a three-match T20I series beginning Tuesday in Mohali.
