Rohit Sharma believes multi-team series in white-ball cricket can be a major boost

Tri-series or quadrangular series was a regular thing in earlier years of cricket. These tournaments brought the best competition among the teams. However, the bilateral series have become the go-to option for cricketing boards these days. The teams move from series to series very quickly, which can be very hectic for players.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma has stated that the resumption of tri-series or quadrangular series will allow all sides to gain more rest days and, as a result, play with greater intensity when they do have matches.

When questioned if bilateral series are losing importance with the emergence of additional T20 leagues around the world and an increasingly hectic calendar, Rohit Sharma responded, "I do think it is important but it can be managed in a better way for sure. The scheduling has to be done with some space as well. You have to play bilateral series."

"There was a time, when we were kids, I grew up, I watched a lot of tri-series or quadrangular series, but that has completely stopped. I think that can be a way forward so that there is enough time for a team to recover and get back," he said.

"These all are high-pressure games that we play, whenever you represent your country, you want to come out with a lot of intensity. You do not want to compromise on that so of course, I do understand when we play the bilateral series, the scheduling, time between each game can be managed slightly better, not just from India's perspective, but all boards," Rohit explained.

"If that happens, you see the best quality of players coming out and representing every game. When you play back-to-back games, you have to look after players and understand the workload. Honestly, from the outside world, people want to see all the best players playing and if those things are managed quite well, the quality of cricket will not be compromised," the 35-year-old concluded.
