In the past few days, the youngsters who are continuously missing domestic cricket are being criticized, not only by just the fans and cricket pundits. This time, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah continuously warned them, but despite that, the players preferred to train for the Indian Premier League (IPL) by skipping the Ranji Trophy.

And now, Indian captain Rohit Sharma gave his opinion on the matter after India’s series win against England at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi on Monday (February 26). He said the management will give the chance to only those players who have the hunger to play and grind in a tough format like Test cricket.

And if you want success and want to excel in this tough format, then you need that hunger. It is very important. We will give opportunity only to players who have that hunger. You come to know [easily] the players who don't have that hunger, [or] players who don't want to stay here [and play this format].
Sharma said after the fourth Test 
Obviously, it is pretty simple: if you don't have hunger, there's no meaning in playing such players.
He added
