Australia has Tim Paine in the Test, while Aaron Finch captains in ODI and T20Is. Similarly, Joe Root leads England in test cricket and Eoin Morgan captains in ODIs and T20Is.
Rohit Sharma‘s record as captain in T20 cricket is excellent, due to which there is a lot of talk about him being made the captain of the Indian team in limited-overs. But Sanjay Manjrekar feels that there is no need.
Manjrekar said on his YouTube channel,
“Now, my theory of split captaincy is that you don’t go looking to have split captaincy.”
“So if you are fortunate to have a captain, who is good in all three formats and still a good captain, then you don’t need split captaincy,” he said.
