New Delhi: According to multiple media reports, India's ODI captain Rohit Sharma has reportedly been informed by the BCCI selection committee that he is not part of the team's plans for the 2027 ICC ODI World Cup.
The reports, citing journalist Devendra Pandey and Express Sports, claim that the selectors have begun planning for the future and are looking to build a younger squad ahead of the next ODI World Cup.
The reports further suggest that Rohit Sharma could play his final One Day International at Lord's on July 19. However, neither the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) nor Rohit Sharma has issued an official statement regarding these claims.
Rohit Sharma has enjoyed one of the most successful ODI careers in Indian cricket, leading the team in major ICC tournaments and setting several batting records over the years. If the reports prove to be accurate, it would mark the end of an illustrious chapter in India's ODI history.
