Kolkata: Former captain Sourav Ganguly on Sunday backed stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to feature in India’s squad for the T20I World Cup in June.
They have not featured in any T20I for about 14 months but the duo was picked for the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, beginning this Thursday in Mohali.
“Of course Rohit should captain the team in the T20I World Cup.Virat Kohli also should be there. Kohli is an outstanding player, nothing will happen (even if they are coming back to T20 fold after a long gap),” Ganguly added.
India’s semifinal defeat to England in the T20I World Cup on November 10 was the duo’s last appearance in the shortest format.
Ganguly is impressed with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s outing in the Test series in South Africa and said he would get enough opportunities in future. PTI
