Delhi: The final of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between India and New Zealand on Sunday. This can have a profound impact on Indian cricket. In this context, discussions about the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma have intensified, and the decision on his future can be taken in the coming weeks.
According to a report by the Times of India, the BCCI is planning a stable captain for the next two years. Rohit may be considered to withdraw from ODI and Test captaincy. The board has stopped the announcement of new central contracts after the final against New Zealand.
Rohit was discussed with future strategy
Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir have discussed the future strategy with BCCI and Rohit after returning from Australia tour. A BCCI source said, “Rohit still believes that there is cricket left in him. He has been asked to tell about his future plans. It will be their decision to retire, but there will be discussion again on continuing captaincy. Rohit himself understands that the World Cup preparation requires a stable captain. There has also been talks with Kohli, but there is not much concern about him. “
The source further said, “The board will wait for Rohit’s decision after the Champions Trophy. If they decide to retire, the board will consider further action. It should not be forgotten that he won the T20 World Cup in July and has also captained a good captaincy in the Champions Trophy. “
Significantly, the 2027 World Cup is two years away, and ODI Vice-Prapation Shubman Gill is currently developing as leadership. Their captaincy capacity is also being considered, but right now they need experience.
