BCCI Signals End for Rohit Sharma Post-England Series
17 Jul
Summary
- BCCI informed Rohit Sharma about plans to move on post-England tour.
- Rohit Sharma's ODI World Cup dream remains unfulfilled.
- Shubman Gill took over ODI captaincy last year.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has communicated to veteran cricketer Rohit Sharma that his time in the One Day International format is drawing to a close. The selectors have indicated that Sharma is not part of their long-term strategy, with the current ODI series against England potentially being his last. This decision signals a shift in focus for the Indian team, looking ahead to the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Sharma, who had previously retired from T20 Internationals in June 2024 after leading India to a T20 World Cup victory and from Test cricket in May 2025, will not get to fulfill his dream of winning a 50-over World Cup. The selection committee, in consultation with the team management, is keen on grooming younger talent for the future of Indian cricket. Shubman Gill had already been handed the ODI captaincy last year as part of this transition.
