New Delhi: Critical of MS Dhoni's rotation policy, former Indian cricket and captain Sourav Ganguly says time has come for the selectors to choose different cricket captains for the three formats of game.
"Selectors have to decide different captain for different formats. At the moment there is too much cricket, too many formats," Ganguly said.
"You will never get a team where all the 11 are outstanding fielders. Even Australia don't have 11 outstanding fielders. Fielding is very very important but it is also about scoring runs in very very tough conditions", he told a news channel.
"And I feel Dhoni has to balance that. He just can't jump and say these guys can't field so they are being rotated. If a guy who can field averages 15 on the tour, what sense does it make? We have to find a way to balance players and make a team," he reasoned.
Ganguly said Dhoni also has to stop backing players for too long if they don't give results.
"As I agree that everybody feel that these senior players are so talented than the other. That's going to happen in future again. The point is he is too stuck on someone for too long because of his mindset," he said.
