New Delhi, May 8 -- Not long after India's 3-1 series loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar trophy, the discussions around a rift between coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma were growing. Although captain-coach duo won the Champions Trophy together after that, other developments in cricket such as assistant coach Abhishek Nayyar's sacking and BCCI's diktats aimed at 'star players' added to the discourse. As questions about Rohit's future especially in the Test team grow ahead of India's Tour of England in June, Gambhir claimed that he has little role as a coach in squad selection and that Rohit and Virat Kohli can play for as long as they are performing or take an individual call on their careers. "A coach's job isn't selecting the team. It is the job of selectors to select. The coach only selects the 11 who will play a match," Gambhir said at the ABP News' 'India at 2047' Summit. "Neither those who coached before me were selectors nor am I a selector." "I respect what Rohit has done for Indian cricket. I have got a lot of time for someone like Rohit Sharma. It was from the start and it will remain like that with him," he added. On a question about the future of the players, he answered saying, "Till the time they (Rohit and Kohli) are performing, they should be a part of the team. When you start and when you end, is your individual decision." "No coach, no selector, no BCCI can tell you when you should call it quits. If you perform, then why 40, you can jolly well play till 45, who's stopping you?"...
