Mathew Hayden and Greg Chappell backs Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s rotation policy – Cricket News Update
The Indian skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has been under fire from former Indian cricketers for implementing a rotational policy in the ongoing Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia.
The likes of Bishan Singh Bedi, Dilip Vengsarkar and Maninder Singh have all criticised Dhoni’s decision of resting seniors players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. The former cricketers have stated that the rotation policy should be adopted when the team performing is well, not when it is suffering.
However, the Australian duo of Greg Chappell and Mathew Hayden seem to accord with the Indian skipper and the rotation policy. The two former Australian cricketers have said that nowadays international teams have a jammed pack calendar, and therefore they should use a rotational policy, so that every player gets a rest they deserve, while youngsters gain experience.
Shedding light on the matter, Hayden said, “It's really hard playing all the formats of the game, it's unfair.”
Hayden also feels that the veteran Indian batsman, Sachin, should retire from limited overs cricket and give younger cricketers an opportunity to make a name for themselves.
He said, “To me, someone like Tendulkar taking a decision to play only Test cricket is very special to the group moving forward. It gives younger players opportunities to blood them and get answers in all sorts of conditions.”
Chappell, who coached the Indian team for duration of two years, shared the same views as his compatriot. He said, “I think you have got to take opportunities to give other players exposure. We all know how full the international programme is. If you think you can play the same XI all the time you gonna run into problems. Fitness and enthusiasm, all those things are going to wane over a period of time.”
Chappell sympathised with Indian cricketers. While referring to his tenure he said that the Men in Blue played fifty percent more games than any other cricketing nation, therefore the players get drenched, they need rest to revitalise, and the rotation policy is the perfect way to do just that.
