“KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are physically unfit, Virat Kohli is mentally unfit,” Rashid Latif thinks Indian cricket team is not in a great shape right now

Rashid Latif is of the opinion that making too many changes in captaincy is not helping the Indian team either

The former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif doesn’t think that the Indian cricket team is shaping up very well ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup because they don’t have any proper reserve opener and they haven’t been able to find any sort of stability with their middle order batting positions.

Rashid Latif, who was speaking on his YouTube channel, also thinks that the Indian team management is making too many changes in captaincy and appointing different captains for different series which won’t help them in any way at all.

Latif did admit that India needs a leader for the future because two of their leadership options, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, have been physically unfit from time to time. As far as Virat Kohli is concerned, who has recently been relieved from captaincy duties, he seems mentally unfit at the moment.

So, India has to look for someone else as a leader for the future and they need an inspirational leader just like Sourav Ganguly or MS Dhoni, but to change captains every series in a bid to find the next leadership option is not the right way to go, according to Latif.

Comments passed by Rashid Latif are quite strange

The Indian team management has, however, not dropped any hints at all that they are looking for their next leadership option and the main reason why the frequent change in captaincy is taking place is that the Indian team is playing a lot of games and senior players are being rested and rotated including the captain himself.

For Rashid Latif to say that the Indian team is not in great shape right now is quite a strange remark to make because India hasn’t lost a single series under their new captain Rohit Sharma, since the time Rohit has been given charge of the permanent captain of the Indian team.

I write a bit on cricket and I am more interested in technical and tactical side of the game, rather than bravado.
