Many of the Former Indian cricketers have slammed yersterday that MS Dhoni's controversial rotation policy, as one of them saying that it defies logic and another going to the extent of calling it "utter nonsense".
Dhoni had stated that senior players such Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag have to be rotated to ensure that the fielding standards of the side are maintained.
But the policy has drawn sharp reactions from former players.
Bishan Singh Bedi a spin legend said rotation makes sense only if players are in good form.
Bedi has asked that "I don't know what is the logic behind this rotation policy and what exactly is Dhoni thinking? But for me the rotation policy makes sense when your players are in good form. But here none of the players are in good form. So where does the question of rotating them comes when they are not scoring.
Dilip Vengsarkar a former captain and chairman of selectors said it was fine to rotate players as long as team's winning prospects were not jeopardised.
As the Rotation policy is good but should not be hard and fast rule. One should always strive to field the best eleven players. It's upto the selectors to rest some player if they feel he is jaded and needs rest. And if you feel someone needs rest or is looking tired playing against the same team, give him rest but at the same time it is also important to win that it will be fine balancing act.
Maninder Singh a former spinner has called the idea as "utter nonsense".
