The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to convene a high-level review meeting in Mumbai on Thursday to discuss various aspects of India’s cricketing strategy. A key topic of this meeting will be Rohit Sharma’s role in the team’s plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup. As a prominent figure in Indian cricket, Sharma’s future in the squad is under scrutiny, especially in light of the evolving dynamics of the team and its performance in recent tournaments.
Convened ahead of the board’s Annual General Meeting, the session will bring together BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, head coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, and Centre of Excellence (CoE) head VVS Laxman to chart the long-term trajectory of the national side.
Thursday’s meeting is expected to clear the air on whether Rohit will continue to lead India’s top order until the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, or whether the team will start preparing for his replacement in the upcoming bilateral series, according to a Cricbuzz report.
During India’s England tour, reports suggested that the selectors wanted to move on from the veteran opener and build a younger team ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Rohit Sharma’s ODI future has become a talking point after reports of differences between the national selection committee and the BCCI’s top brass.
