Sword hangs over Jadeja's future across formats

Jadeja deserves at least another cycle in test cricket.

 

Test series in SL in 2026 is going to be pretty tough otherwise.  Don't think Axar the test bowler is closer to him.

Suthar might be a better bowler but he is still developing with the bat.

 

I am open to him retiring post SL 2026 if they want to move on then let Suthar play home tests vs WI and SA and gauge him out

Jadeja, Kohli, Rohit all 3 are 35-37 year old.

By end of next cycle they will be around 38-40...spent force and a liability.

 

It's good time to phase them from Tests, we have young kids like Nishant Sindhu, Manav Suthar who are 20-21 year old and can replace Jadeja...Axar too is there for next 5-6 years.

 

People may feel nostalgic and won't want to let go off the past. But the time has changed, and so should be the players.

I think OP is talking about the inconsistency in ways these oldies are treated. Jadeja getting dropped from the side but the two useless leeches continue to leech off Indian cricket even though they have been far far worse than Jadeja. 

 

How can anyone explain this?

Got it..

This discrepancy will continue coz both RoKo are marketable brands behind which sponsors and other ad companies are aligned with.

This is applicable fo rall bowlers. Even Bumrah will go through this phase moment he stops showing up. Bowlers don't have PR groups lined up for them. 

I can see how PR groups can drum up support on SM with fans etc. But why would that affect the cricket administrators?

Commercial value of players matter for BCCI. A reason why Gill will get more chances compared to say Rinku singh.  This PR effort on social media is a reflection of your brand value.

It is. When you see Adam Gilchrist hyping Kohli , one can hear how contrived it sounds. It sounded  anything but genuine. It was almost like he was persuaded to say these things.

That is why i was shocked to see the comments from Irfan pathan. That is when you know Kohli has reached the bottom of the barrell.
