In build-up, to T20 World Cup, team management experimented with T20I squ, especially in bowling roles.

'Confusion in selection is a good heache': Salman Butt 

With players knocking on selector's door with ir performance, BCCI decided to play separate squs for different formats. Last year, India's Test and ODI teams played series simultaneously. While senior team played matches in England, white ball team played Sri Lanka. Earlier this year, a Hardik Pandya-led Indian team took on Ireland in a two-match T20I series while Test squ, led by Rohit Sharma was preparing for fifth Test against England in Edgbaston.  

Salman Butt, while speaking on his Youtube channel was asked wher having so many players for selection creates confusion for selectors.   former Pakistan skipper said, “Apparently, re are more benefits to it. India is one of biggest economies, it's one of biggest markets. If you have more consumers, anything sells. Even flop movies in India work well because re are so many people,". He ded “Practically speaking, it's an asset. If you are having confusion in your selection, it's a good heache. You have 3 teams, one is playing Test, or ODIs/T20Is, and n you have ‘A’ team playing as well. This is a blessing," 

former cricketer also took a jibe at Pakistan Cricket Board for failing to do things similar to that of India. He said, “Ye hamaare numbers me bhi ho sakta hai. Par hamaare 2 saal ho gaye hain, naa hamne A ka koi tour karaaya hai naa U19 ka (This can happen with our numbers as well. But it has been 2 years, neir did we have an ‘A’ tour or an U19 tour),”
