MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS

On whether out-of-form players should play the last rounds of the Ranji Trophy I would always like everyone to play domestic cricket. That is how much importance domestic cricket needs to be given. Not only one game, if they are available and they have the commitment to play red-ball cricket, everyone should play domestic cricket. As simple as it can get. If you don't give importance to domestic cricket, you will never get the desired players that you want in Test cricket. On the future of Rohit and Virat I can't talk about the future of any player, it's up to them as well. But yes, what I can say is that they still have the hunger, they still have the passion, but ultimately as we all know whatever they plan, they will plan for the best interest of Indian cricket
