Main point:
The Sri Lanka Cricket Board has sent a proposal for a six -match series to BCCI in August. If this series is done then it is possible to return to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODIs. The final decision will depend on the status of the Asia Cup and the BCCI’s interaction.
Delhi: Indian veteran batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 and Test cricket. Team India is currently on a tour of England and is remembering the fans Rohit-Virat. So now this wait of fan is also going to end. Rohit and Virat may return once again in Team India. But, some things are yet to be decided. If everything is right and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) approves the proposal of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC), then these two veterans can once again be seen in India’s jersey.
Team India can go on Sri Lanka tour
Sri Lanka Board has sent a proposal to BCCI to conduct a small white-ball series (three ODIs and three T20s). This series can be held in August. Earlier India was to visit Bangladesh from 17 to 31 August, but this tour has now been postponed till 2026. The reason for this is the security cause and the problems of the schedule.
At present, BCCI has not given any official answer to Sri Lanka’s proposal. A BCCI officer told Cricbuzz that no decision has been taken yet. They will have to clear the situation with the first Asia Cup. Everything is connected among themselves.
Rohit-Virat will return in the series
If there is a Sri Lanka series, it can become a chance to return to Rohit and Kohli in ODI cricket. Both veterans have taken a break from T20 and Tests and are now focusing only on ODI cricket. Both players are also not included in the ongoing Test series against England.
BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia, who is in London these days, will interact with head coach Gautam Gambhir and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar regarding this proposal. In view of the preparations for the Asia Cup, the Sri Lanka series will be decided.
Asia Cup is to be held in India this time, but the government’s approval is still left, especially the situation regarding Pakistan’s participation is not clear. If there is a Sri Lanka series, then it will be a chance to prepare for ODI players, especially for experienced players like Rohit and Kohli.
At the moment, Indian fans will have to wait a little, but it is expected that next month these two players will again be seen in India’s blue jersey.
