We need selectors who retired recently, five to eight years ago,\u201d he said on Pujara\u2019s YouTube channel. <\/a>Rahane stressed that selectors must adapt to evolving formats like T20 and IPL, ensuring decisions align with the mindset of contemporary cricketers rather than relying on outdated approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pujara urges caution with plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Ajit Agarkar and newly appointed Pragyan Ojha bring T20 experience and modern cricket understanding to India\u2019s selection panels, Ajinkya Rahane advocates for even more recent players, especially at the domestic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Cheteshwar Pujara cautions against sidelining experienced former players, warning that valuable knowledge accumulated over time could be lost. <a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/2025\/10\/11\/yashasvi-jaiswal-silences\/\">\u201cIn big states this can be implemented because they have many options,\u201d he explained,<\/a> noting smaller teams like Saurashtra may not have that luxury.
