Age will not be a factor in deciding whether former India captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will feature in the 2027 World Cup.
Manhas, who took charge of the BCCI in September last year, said the two veterans will continue to play as long as they remain fit and perform at the highest level. That was the message BCCI president Mithun Manhas conveyed to the two Indian greats, whose places in the team have been the subject of debate over the past couple of years.

“Shubman has been the captain of Gujarat Titans for two or three years now, apart from leading India. I think that experience will come in handy when he begins his World Cup campaign. Having Virat, Hardik (Pandya) and Rohit in the side will definitely help him. Then there are the likes of (Jasprit) Bumrah, who could take charge as the bowling captain, while someone else could lead the fielding unit. So, it is all about distributing the workload. It will be interesting to see how things unfold. But Shubman is a level-headed guy, and I think having the seniors around him will be an advantage,” he added.
