“The selectors said it’s not the end of the road for him in T20s, which I don’t quite understand. But it’s the right decision as the next T20 World Cup will take place in 2020 and you don’t quite know whether he’s going to last till then. I don’t think his performances his T20 cricket have been good enough or maybe you don’t need him as much as perhaps everyone says that they need him.

You’ve got to look forward. When he was the captain, he moved some of the guys and that shows it should be. It doesn’t matter how great the player has been in his career. Eventually, you’ve got to be in the present, which sometimes gets lost,” Agarkar was quoted as saying in ESPNcricinfo.

 

“The selectors might have to answer a bit about what this rest means in T20 cricket, but it seems to be the right call,” the Mumbai chief selector added.

Dhoni is currently playing in the five-match ODI series against the Windies. In Australia, the Men in Blue are also scheduled to play three ODIs and Dhoni is likely to be drafted in for the series bearing in mind the fact that he will play next year’s World Cup in England and Wales.

Yeah him and Gambhir are the only ones calling spade a spade. Rest are nothing more than paid cheerleaders.

Always been a straightforward guy. I will be damned if DHoni is anywhere near the ODI WC team.

I really hope this guy becomes Indian team selector.

Bhaijee WC to wo khelega hi don't see him getting dropped it's too late now even if you drop him still we are left with Pandey,Rayudu and DK so WC will be his farewell I believe.Lets hope he somehow somehow discovers form and does well very difficult but we can still hope.

Its going to be fun watching India being kicked out of WC during the warm up stage!

I'm sure some folks will be relentlessly trolling Sir Aggy after these comments now on social media. Always a pleasure to listen to someone with cricketing common sense.

We should just forfeit this World Cup lol. Anyway we have no chance of winning this. Might as well make sure that ICC don't make any money out of this.

Would have been the right decision couple of years back as well

I meant if Dhongi stays, then we can safely be assured we wont go beyond the prelims ;)

Give this man a high paying post in Indian cricket, preferably selector.

 

Even though he might select one bad apple  after  5 good selections just like his bowling

Agarkar on India vs Australia 3rd ODI(ESPN Cricinfo post match) :

 

 'Dhoni may prefer taking it deep but not sure batsmen at the other end are as comfortable with that approach as they look like they feel the pressure' (referring to Kohli)

 

'Not sure this chase should have been taken into the last over'

 

'Plenty of nervous faces in the dressing room during chase'

 

'Australia didn't have 5 good bowlers which they might have next time'

 

'Australia very sloppy in the field'

 

'Dhoni should bat where it suits India, not where it suits him'

Calling a spade a spade...sir Aggy vaazhga..

 

I did not see the second innings, but no reason to take it to 50th over.
