A day before the encounter with England at Nagpur, Rohit sharma was addressing a press conference and asked a question on his retirement post-champions Trophy by a reporter. This upset the Rohit who contradicted commenting on that. He even added that such reports have been doing rounds for years.
Indian cricketer slightly irritated as saying “How is it relevant that I talk about my future plans here?”
“We have three ODIs and Champions Trophy coming in. The reports have been going on for a number of years. I am not here to clarify those reports. For me, right now, these three games and the Champions Trophy are very important. My focus is on these games, we will see what happens afterwards,” he added.
As per report, it quoted an unidentified BCCI source, who claimed that during the last selection committee, the officials asked for clarification about Rohit’s future as the team management has plans for future.

What the report told?
BCCI source as saying ” The selectors and people in the board had this discussion with Rohit around the time of the last selection meeting. He has been told that he needs to decide how he wants to plan his future after the champions Trophy. The team management has certain plans going into the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle and the ODI World cup. They want to ensure everyone is on the same page for a smoother transition,”
In last year 2024, Rohit Sharma saw a flop in form and failed to notch up a noteworthy score in his last eight Test matches. In his last 15 innings, he could cross the double-figure mark only five times, in which only one resulted in a half-century.
