3 captaincy theory

Ever since T20 has come into Gentleman’s game.It has given cricket the necessary makeover which it was looking out for.Almost 8 years after its invention all the test playing nations have their own T20 leagues.Be it IPL ,Big Bash or any other.This gives selectors a really tough choice to choose for because there would be pool of players that need to be considered .This is a actually a good headache for selectors as it increases particular team’s bench strength.The other headache which countries are facing are whether to keep 3 different captains for 3 different formats .i.e T20,ODI’s and Test cricket.


Each format in itself presents a unique challenge in its offering .Test cricket being more traditional way and tests the temparement of players,while ODI cricket  is all about planning,mixing  caution with  aggression  and handling pressure while T20 is all about High speed cricket,Aggressive cricket and risk free cricket.Each format  has actually demanded specialists inorder to meet this challenges.All the teams and captains have understood it.Now bigger debate is whether to have 3 different captains or go with one captain.Is it the way ahead considering the challenges that each format throws. Advantage of having  3 different captains is it clearly defines the roles and responsibilities and allows particular captain to focus on one format and become specialized in that. It also relieves the pressure on the captain specially on long tour .Captaincy also in 3 formats is different and having 3 different captains will actually  help in making  them specialists.Diasadvantages of having 3 different captains is specifically if a particular player is playing in all formats then it become challenging to adjust to different captaincy.Secondly role of coach becomes more pivotal because there would be high possibility that T20 captain would be playing under ODI captain and vice versa.So coach has to play a key role in maintaining calm in dressing room .It is challenge for players,captains and coach going ahead with each format having its own integrity and providing distinct opportunity.ICC constantly changing the ODI rules,T20 rules almost 3 years  with respect to power plays,filed restrictions etc. I believe that most of the  teams would start adopting 3 captaincy theory
