Ahead of the upcoming IPL, the names of 173 players including 10 franchises have already been announced. So in view of the upcoming IPL, the Indian players may not be going to the South Africa tour, especially the old players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. There is no other reason than that Rohit Sharma needs some rest after the upcoming IPL and the recently concluded ODI World Cup. That is why old players are not seen in foreign tours and currently in T20 series.
Therefore, in the T20 series against Australia, the players who played in the World Cup are not seen in the Indian team. Going on a tour to another country right after the World Cup will definitely cause fatigue for these players. One reason could be to give the senior players a chance to rest and the other reason is that India is not short of star players, India has a lot of talent so they always have replacement players ready.
Some of India's best batsmen have been rested after the 2023 World Cup finals. Important batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been rested. Surya Kumar Yadav captained some of India's young players for the five-match T20I series against Australia. India's young players are batting brilliantly against Australia. The team is winning with great batting. It looks like India is not short of batsmen. India has enough good players. India team is undoubtedly a strong team. This team will do much better in the future.
