Former India left-arm fast-bowler Irfan Pathan believes the side cannot just restrict itself to a pool of 20 players and rotate only from them, especially with the 2023 ODI World Cup just nine months away. 

“World Cup is still nine months away, you can’t have just 20 players and just rotate them and think that you’re going to find those players only above the rest. And it’s not happening, look being a part of NCA in terms of coaching courses, and knowing those coaches what they have done now, they have had a clear communication on Indian cricket, with Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and the coaches,” Pathan told Star Sports.
