Bishop stressed that the participation of veterans will depend on their motivation, fitness and form, and at the same time suggests that Gill takes time to develop as a captain, even though he showed a promise.Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are going to return to the international cricket on the upcoming Australian tour, after the victory of Trophy Champions were selected for the ODI Indian groups at the beginning of this year.The future of both players in the World Cup 2027 remains the subject of the discussion, given that Rohit will be 40 and until then Kohl 39.“This is their decision. I can’t answer it to Rohit or for a virat or for BCCI. It depends on their determination and skills. So far, it was fine,” Bishop Videos PTI said.The discussion also concentrated around the recent appointment of SHUBMAN GILL as a captain, after his leadership in the Indian victory of 2-0 test series against West India.“It will be okay. These two boys will help him on his way. He will grow at work,” Bishop PTI said. “He’s not near the finished article. People have to give him a chance to grow as a captain and as Batsman will also grow.”Bishop emphasized the importance that experienced players like Rohit and Kohli led Gill through their captain’s journey.“He has a temperament and skill to lead, but the growth of the captain and tactics is something that will take several seasons to grow up.Former Pacer West Indies also provided an analysis of the recent test series between India and West Indies.Despite the dominant performance of India, Bishop identified the positive development of the Western India team.“From the West Indian point of view, it was great to see a few doughs that spend time in the fold. The trust they showed on the pitch was excellent,” said Shai Hope, John Campbell and Justin Greaves, along with Spinner Yomel Warrican.Bishop closed his observation of the West India team and said, “It’s not that they arrived, but they introduced some building blocks to the place.”The experience and management of Rohit and Kohli will be essential in mentoring the next generation of Indian cricket leaders, especially when Gill evolves in his new role as a captain.The upcoming ODI series in Australia will provide the opportunity for this transition to develop, which is to develop, while the veterans support Gill’s development and at the same time maintain their own performance standards.
