The BCCI convened a review meeting in Mumbai on Thursday to discuss Rohit Sharma’s future in the ODI format.
Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja’s ODI futures were also on the table, with both facing comparatively less scrutiny than Rohit.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Committee of Experts head VVS Laxman attended the meeting.
The agenda included injury management, India’s 2027 ODI World Cup planning, and player availability ahead of the New Zealand tour.
Reports indicate a selection committee member had already told Rohit that the panel wanted to move on from his ODI role.
The meeting brought together head coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Committee of Experts head VVS Laxman in Mumbai.
Captain Shubman Gill and ODI captain Shreyas Iyer were also expected to attend, alongside BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and president Mirthun Manhas.
Kohli and Jadeja are not believed to be under significant pressure over their ODI futures, with the greater share of attention centred on Rohit Sharma’s position.
There has been speculation that a member of the selection committee had already informed Rohit that the panel wanted to move on from his ODI role.
Rohit was reportedly also asked about his future plans following India’s Lord’s ODI during the team’s recent tour of England.
The review is also expected to cover injury management protocols and player availability ahead of India’s upcoming tour of New Zealand.
India’s 2027 ODI World Cup planning has become a growing focus for the BCCI, with the review meeting expected to shape squad direction over the coming months.
The review comes at a point where the senior core of India’s ODI side, several of whom have played key roles in past World Cup campaigns, faces a natural generational transition.
Any decisions from the meeting on player futures are expected to be communicated through official BCCI channels rather than leaked selection discussions.
