ODI World Cup 2023
‘Khali mazze mat karna, kaam bhi karke aane’ – Fans react to Ajit Agarkar scheduled to meet Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid to discuss Indian team’s ODI World Cup 2023 plans
Ajit Agarkar has been reported to travel to the Caribbean to meet Indian team skipper Rohit Sharma along with Rahul Dravid with the ODI World Cup 2023 coming up soon
Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selectors for the Indian Cricket Board, will be travelling to the West Indies in order to meet with Rahul Dravid, the head coach of India, Rohit Sharma, and the more senior members from the team management to map out a strategy for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, which starts on October 5. India’s campaign will commence on October 8 against arch-rivals Australia.
The Indian team is currently in Trinidad, getting ready for their second Test match versus the West Indies after winning the first Test in Dominica with an innings and 141 runs. Before giving way to a young team led by Hardik Pandya during the five-match T20I series, the experienced members of the team will play the Caribbean outfit in a three-match ODI series.
Before that, Agarkar, who was named earlier this month as the Indian senior men’s cricket team’s top selector, wants to meet Dravid and Rohit in person to decide on an initial core of 20 players ahead of the World Cup. Prior to the ODI series beginning on July 27, the former India bowler is expected to join the group and have a discussion with the senior members.

One of the senior members from the Indian Cricket Board told PTI about Ajit Agarkar’s planning ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023. They said, “Currently Salil Ankola is in the West Indies but he will be back after the Test series gets over. Ajit will be joining the team before the start of the white ball leg.”
It is thought that in-depth discussions will be had regarding Jasprit Bumrah’s physical condition and whether or not he will be able to travel to Ireland for a three-match T20 series. After his brief comeback to professional cricket playing a T20I series versus Australia back home last year, the quick bowler has not participated in any competitive cricket. Bumrah also missed the most recent T20 World Cup in Australia as well as the Asia Cup. He was also a big miss for India during the World Test Championship final.

Do it over a Zoom call or Google Meet! Don't travel too far.

Road Map is pretty simple – 1 new captain each series and change atleast 4 players every series…?.
Hopefully it changes now..?

Why ?? It’s a family team. All those injured are going to come back. New guys will become water carriers. After World Cup , all oldies will be sacked along with agarakar.

Tbh it is seeming me just a show off traveling.
Traveling to WI for the discussion of CWC where that is not held and infact there will be any sense if he discusses the CWC road map in India.— Nikhil (@nikhilsp27) July 18, 2023
Road map is done at least 2 years before an event.
If it's fine 2-3 months before the event, it's called a pleasure trip.— tweettrombone1 (@tweettrombone1) July 18, 2023
Road map should be started prior to 3 – 4 years of World cup year , it should not be just before 3 to 4 months ??.. Just Indian cricket things ????

Jab woh log yaha the tab karte ! Now wait for their return ! Road map is discussed 6-7 months before WC not 3 months ????

Preparation, planning and all are upto mark. But performance in ICC events are a big thumbs down ??

Next month is Asia Cup and after that there's world cup. Hopefully they won't chop and change like they are doing for last few years

As always, poor team selection.
Selection based on IPL.
Can't drop a player in poor form if he's a star player in IPL.— tweettrombone1 (@tweettrombone1) July 18, 2023
