- BCCI to decide Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s future in T20Is in a crucial meeting.
- Selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, set to make bold decisions ahead of the T20I series against Afghanistan.
- With T20 World Cup 2024 approaching, the focus is on scrutinizing talent for a competitive Indian squad.
In a crucial development for Indian cricket, the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in T20 Internationals is set to be determined in an upcoming BCCI meeting. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is expected to consider bold decisions regarding the two former captains, both of whom haven’t played T20Is since the last match against England in the World Cup 2022.
The selection committee, comprising Shiv Sunder Das and Salil Ankola, will hold discussions with head coach Rahul Dravid and both players before making the final decision ahead of the T20I series against Afghanistan. With the T20 World Cup 2024 on the horizon in the UAE and West Indies, India boast a pool of 25-30 T20I experts, including IPL stalwarts. The BCCI is meticulously scrutinizing the available talent to make informed decisions for the upcoming tournaments.
Interestingly, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have expressed their eagerness to participate in the T20 World Cup 2024, a sentiment resonating strongly with fans. The selection committee’s decisions are expected to shape the team’s composition and strategy for the upcoming series and major tournaments.
The absence of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, who are currently unfit, adds complexity to the selection process. A senior BCCI source highlighted the significance of the first month of the IPL in influencing the final decisions, emphasizing that the Afghanistan series might not provide a comprehensive assessment.
