Kapil Dev unhappy with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma skipping domestic cricket

New Delhi: Former Indian All-Rounder and Captain Kapil Dev said, all elite players should participate in a sufficient quantity of domestic cricket because doing so not only improves their form but also increases the likelihood that their team will succeed.

Domestic cricket is most important

Recently, BCCI president Roger Binny had said that domestic cricket should be the ideal platform for emerging youngsters, out-of-form or injured stars to make a comeback into the senior team. But it doesn't look like such a process has been made compulsory by the board.

"Domestic cricket is most important. How many domestic matches has Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or any of the other top players played in recent times? I think the top players must play a decent amount of domestic matches so that it helps the next generation of players," Kapil Dev said Media.

In West Indies team failed as a unit

Furthermore, Kapil Dev said that Sanju Samson alone shoudln't be criticized for his non-performance on the tour of the West Indies, as the team failed as a unit.

"It's not right to talk about Sanju Samson alone. We are talking about the Indian team. I think he is a great player and a wonderful talent. But he has to apply himself more," he also said.
