After the defeat in the final of the World Cup 2023, the Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI has decided to make a plan for the next four years. For this BCCI is going to meet with Team India captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar. During this time it will be decided what is the future of Rohit Sharma in white ball cricket and who will be the future captain of Team India. Rohit Sharma has not been a part of the T20 international cricket team for the last one year and if reports are to be believed, he has made it clear to the selectors that he is not disappointed about not being picked in the squad.
If the TOI report is to be believed, sources have also confirmed it Rohit Sharma He has already told the selectors that he has no objection to not considering his name for the T20Is. With selectors keen to invest in young players, it will be interesting to see how Rohit views his ODI career. Rohit will be almost 40 by the time of the next ODI World Cup to be held in South Africa in 2027. The next major ODI tournament will be the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, which is scheduled to be held in Pakistan. At the same time, India have only six ODIs to play in the next one year.
A BCCI source said, “Ahead of the ODI World Cup, Rohit had expressed that he would not mind his name not being considered for the T20I. The selectors have been investing heavily in youth in T20 international cricket over the last year. In June next year With the T20 World Cup underway, they are not ready to deviate from that strategy. We have seen a glimpse of it in the five-match T20 series against Australia starting on Thursday November 23. Players like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson have not been given a chance.

Team India is scheduled to play three ODIs in South Africa before the two-Test series next month. One-day cricket can be a good opportunity for Test players to get acclimatised to South African conditions. Sources said that the board and selectors will prepare a plan for ODIs only after the upcoming IPL and T20 World Cup. Another big challenge for the board is to groom a long-term captain.
The source claimed, “So far it looks like Rohit will focus much of his energy on the Test format for the next cycle of the World Test Championship, which will run until 2025. Preparing the captain for the longer format is an important part of the agenda. Hardik Pandya The selectors may look for options in ODIs considering the possibility of injury. Just as Chahal and Samson have been overlooked in T20s, Ajinkya Rahane may be dropped after Cheteshwar Pujara in Test cricket.

A BCCI source further said, “The selection committee has made it clear that it wants to produce players who can play together for a long time. Shreyas Iyer With the return of KK in Tests and Shubman Gill batting at number 3, there is very little scope for Rahane. KL Rahul But can be considered for Test matches as well, as he can be a backup wicket-keeping option.” Hardik Pandya is out till January. His absence in such a situation will spoil the team’s preparations for the T20 World Cup.
