VVS Laxman should be the first veteran head to roll in a batting revamp if India are to secure their future in Test cricket, several former players have said in the wake of a second crushing defeat in Australia.
Gaekwad, who played 40 Tests for India, said middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma should be handed his debut in Perth and selectors should give struggling batsman Virat Kohli more chances to find his feet.
"It`s not that Virat is not batting well. He`s just getting out. But all the others are also struggling. If you drop him now, it will dampen his confidence," Gaekwad said.
"I would play both Virat and Rohit in Perth. You should let Virat play, he should be given more chances. If you drop him now, he will not enjoy his cricket anymore," More said.
"I would still drop VVS and get Rohit in for next Test. Makes long-term sense. Give Virat one more test ... just to be sure he does not belong here," he wrote on his twitter page (twitter.com/# !/SANJAYMANJREKAR).
