Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's future in ODI cricket has been a topic of speculation, with various reports and statements from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the players themselves. Here's what's been happening
:
- *BCCI's Stance*: The BCCI has stated that they're focused on the upcoming Asia Cup and T20 World Cup preparations, and Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's futures are not a concern for the board at the moment. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla emphasized that the board never tells any player to retire and that both players are still part of India's one-day team.
- *Players' Plans*: There have been reports suggesting that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might retire from ODIs after the Australia series in October 2025. However, Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector, clarified that both players are non-committal about playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
- *Domestic Cricket Requirement*: According to reports, if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli want to continue playing ODIs beyond the Australia series, they might need to participate in domestic cricket, specifically the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Agarkar confirmed that the BCCI has made it clear that whenever the players are available, they should play domestic cricket.
- *Leadership Transition*: With Shubman Gill being named the new ODI captain and Shreyas Iyer appointed vice-captain, it seems like a transition is underway. Agarkar mentioned that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will likely play mentoring roles, guiding the next generation of players.
- *2027 ODI World Cup Planning*: The BCCI is reportedly planning for the 2027 ODI World Cup, and Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's participation is uncertain. Agarkar emphasized that the board is looking ahead and preparing for the future, but no decisions have been made regarding the duo's participation in the World Cup.
It's worth noting that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from Test and T20I cricket, and their future in ODIs is currently uncertain. The BCCI seems to be preparing for a transition, with a focus on younger players and new leadership.
