Different teams for different formats would means that a few players would only be playing specific formats and thus could lose out on a spot in other format teams.
Gautam Gambhir Suggested Rishabh Pant to focus only on red ball cricket and given his below performance in T20 World Cup, he could be dropped from ODI and T20I teams.
KL Rahul has not been able to justify his potential in white-ball cricket and was dropped from the T20 World Cup team.
There is no doubt that Jasprit Bumrah is quality T20 bowler,however, playing all three formats is challenging thus Gambhir Could ask Bumrah to Shift focus to ODI and Test cricket with Champions Trophy,WTC and ODI World Cup 2027 in sight.
The T20 teams would see a lot of IPL stars getting a fo thus Shami could be restricted to playing only Tests and occasional ODIs.
R Ashwin has been a tremendous performer for India but India would be looking to give more chances to Kuldeep Yadav and thus Ashwin coukd be left out of the Test team.
