One good news is coming from India. BCCI is about to kickstart their domestic season with Sayed Mustaq Ali Trophy (T-20). If everything goes okay then Ranji should be on the cards.

There are rumors that Ranji Trophy will be shelved for this year. I am not sure about the authenticity, but if that happens then it can have a negative impact on the domestic players, who have no other avenue to the longer format of the game. But still it is good news that the domestic T20 tournament will go ahead as planned, with all the 38 member state associations.
If covid situation stopping Ranji atm then i think BCCI is optimistic and might be preparing for some plans behind close doors already, after all English tour is coming up then IPL and in the end hosting rights of T-20 WC. That's so much cricket in India and if everything goes okay then they might go ahead with Ranji too.

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to start from January 10

Quote
India's 2020-21 domestic season will kick off with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which is set to take place from January 10 to 31, Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, stated in an email to all the state units of the Board of Control for Cricket in India on Sunday (December 31).

The decision was taken following the suggestions from all state associations on which tournament they would prefer playing in the pandemic-hit cricket season. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy had emerged as the favourite, while there was an almost equal preference for Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy as the second-choice tournament for the season.

The main accusation against Kohli is that he does not take any tactical decisions if things are not going your way, the team wins because of his aggressive approach and the way in which he leads the team from the front scoring runs and on their day they will defeat any team in the world and the upcoming world cup will be a big test for Kohli as a captain in T20 internationals.

The 2021 T20 World Cup will be conducted in India and that should give a huge advantage to Kohli & Co. But if India's performance is less than satisfactory in that tournament, then I expect the BCCI to take some tough decisions, including making Rohit Sharma the captain for the shorter format. Aggression on the field needs to be backed up with performance. If Kohli is not capable of that, then someone else needs to be given the responsibility.

There are teams that normally have different captains for different cricket formats but it is not a common practice in the Indian cricket board. India is already playing well under Kohli's captaincy right then why there is a need for a change now? At least it is better to give time until the next WorldCup for Kohli to prove his captaincy skills before criticizing and talking about changing capitans.

You are right. At this moment changing the captain will totally affect the dressing room atmosphere. But this is the right time to change the captaincy. Rohit Sharma is a successful captain in T20 matches, this is what we saw in IPL. So for the T20 format, Rohit Sharma is tested as a captain to see if he is suitable for the captaincy in an international match. We have seen in many cricket teams around the world different captains for 3 formats.

Two wicket gone in last 3 balls of Adelaide Strikers.They still need 138 runs in 80 balls with 6 wickets in hand.Looks like a easy win for Hobart Hurricanes.Great spell bowled by 39 years old Johan Botha,he picked uo two important wickets 
Which series are you referring here ? Look like some sort of domestic Australian series is in progress ? If so, there would be no international Aussies player in this series because all of them are busy in series with India  Huh

Surprising that you haven't heard about the Big Bash League (BBL), which happens to be the second largest franchise T20 league in terms of viewership and revenue. And yes, some of the players such as David Warner are not participating in this league, because they are preparing for the series against India. But other international players are participating, including Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh and Kane Richardson. On top of that, they have some very good overseas players, such as Carlos Brathwaite, Rashid Khan and Rilee Rossouw.

This up coming twenty/20 world cup is going to be very cruicial for Virat Kohli and Shastri because if they fail to produce any good result then surely both are going to be in hot water as many baord officials are going to against them and this can create some serious trouble for both these now time for them to bring some big silverware back at home for own safety.
I think so too. It will not be good for Virat Kohli and Shastri if they do not perform well in the world cup. BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world. It is normal for them to aim to be the champions. If Virat Kohli If can't take India to the final, I think he will lose the captaincy.
I don't think so, because this is sport so win or lose this is just a normal thing and you can't expect them to win every match even if they are the best team out of others. And also there is no better candidate yet available to lead the team India for now so give some time to the aggressive captain he is going to change the mood set of their players.
The people of India love cricket. But they are very aggressive. They celebrate India's victory, but can't accept India's defeat easily. The Indian board also does not want India to perform poorly on a platform like the World Cup. You said that there is no better candidate in the Indian team than Virat Kohli. I think Rohit Sharma should be given a chance.
Rohit Sharma has been one of the best captains in IPL but this not alone makes him as the best alternative to become captain for the international team because players are not the same which will remarkably show the difference in the team's performance. Individually Virat also the best player in the international standard but he is a bit unlucky in my opinion.Its all been set now so changing the captain now will totally affect the dressing room atmosphere so let it be and hope they will give their best.

First Iyer has to cement his spot in the Indian squad, he's still not regular player in the limited overs cricket. I feel that Rohit should get the chance in the short format, even if its for 2-3 years. He has a temperament to guide players likes Shreyas, Gill or overall team, one of them might end up leading India in the near future.

I agree. Iyer is a future prospect, but he hasn't achieved enough maturity. And I don't think that he can effectively captain a side, which comprises of senior players such as Kohli, Dhawan, Agarwal, Shami, Bumrah, Sharma.etc. Captaining the national team is much more difficult when compared to captaining the Delhi Capitals. BTW, I was not that happy with his captaincy record for Delhi Capitals either.

Exactly there are only two choices one is robi and the next is iyer. Rohit is more experienced than iyer but iyer did quite well in this IPL season. Knowing BCCI they will go for Rohit if required but if virat can perform as a captain in the upcoming T20 worldcup then I think they will stick with him.

I would rather prefer Shreyas Iyer over Rohit Sharma. Shreyas is 26 years old and he represents the future of the Indian cricket team. His captaincy was good during the initial phase of the IPL 2020, but later on he made some stupid decisions and received a lot of flak. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma is already 33 years old and he has only 3-4 years left in the international scene.

Handling both captaincy and maintain good batting equally kinda tricky things and not everyone suite for that. It's a long time individuals are beginning making question on his captaincy and there make sense to hand over T20I captaincy Rohit Sharma since under his captaincy MI won the IPL trophy.
The only reason everyone is claiming to hand over the captaincy to Rohit Sharma is because of the performance as a captain in the IPL. The difference is that whenever Rohit Sharma did not play due to injury Pollard was leading the team and they were winning them as well and it is all because they had a good complete team with top bowlers and good openers and middle order as well and leading a strong team is always easy Grin.

I have to agree with you here. Pollard performed much better than Rohit, as far as captaining the Mumbai Indians was concerned. But then the question is who can replace Kohli as the captain of the Indian team. All the top captains during the IPL were foreign players, such as Pollard, Smith and Warner. So the choice comes down to Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer. And at this point, I have to say that Iyer doesn't have enough maturity.

A few years back, I used to like the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Back then, he used to combine aggression with good tactics. But nowadays, his aggression has given way to bullying and nepotism. And when someone deviates from their core principles, the performance also goes down. The team bonding suffers when the captain himself is accused of bias and nepotism.
Your thoughts are similar to mine. When Virat Kohli became the captain after Dhoni, I liked Virat Kohli very much. Virat Kohli is one of the best players in the world. I still like his batting, but as a captain he is not as successful as before. He often made many wrong decisions in matches. I think Rohit Sharma should be given a chance for the T20 format. He may be able to do better than Virat Kohli.

Not always the aggressive captain wins. Sometime even the calmness can make you win too. I think captaincy of Virat Kohli is very good because he can mold himself according to the situation.
If the captain is performing well as a player, this will further boost his confidence and he will take more bolder decisions.
