Won't Be a Surprise": Gavaskar on Bold Decisions by Selectors After WTC Loss

Cricketing icon Sunil Gavaskar says the India squad might be in for a shake-up as selectors take stock of strategies after the WTC Final loss.

Cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar reacted on the heartbreak Indian team went through in the final of the ICC World Test Championship. He claims that national selectors come up with certain bold decisions remodeling the team itself. Speaking in a newspaper interview recently, he said changes either to the unit or to a strategy "would not be surprise" for India to attempt in rebounding against heartbreak.

WTC loss keeps the debate of team composition going as many players go under the radar for their respective performances. Gavaskar seemed to give an impression that selectors would opt for a more aggressive route, ensuring that the team was fit enough for the challenges that were to come. "After such a setback, it's natural for selectors to rethink their options. It's part of the process," he said.

This cricketing legend believes there should be findings for players who can capitalize on situations of such high pressure. It was therefore crucial to seek support from supporters and expert opinions alike during this transitioning period.

Real test though, will be the Test series preparation alongside international commitments afterwards. Whichever selectors choose to go hammer and tongs for massive cuts or want to cling to the core, still it's all about regaining the longest format of the game.

This is the kind of talk which the fans are sitting with bated breath for any kind of official announcements concerning the future plans and strategies from the team management. Gavaskar explains the critical role selectors play in shaping India's cricketing legacy after the disappointment from WTC.
