Big news came out about Rohit Sharma. For him, the third ODI of the 3-match ODI series being played against England these days can prove to be the last match of his career. Hitman has been informed that the BCCI selection committee has moved ahead of him. The third ODI will be played at Lord’s on 19th July (Sunday).
Rohit Sharma not part of 2027 ODI World Cup
The report published in Indian Express said that the panel had also talked to Sharma along with coach Gautam Gambhir last week. According to sources, the selection committee wants to give opportunity to young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal. Apart from this, it was also made clear that Rohit is not being seen in any role for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The report quoted a source as saying, “The selectors have told Rohit that he has no role in their team after the England tour and after this series they are dropping him from the team. Rohit wanted to continue playing after working on his fitness. Now the selectors have left the decision to Sharma.”
The bat did not work in the first 2 ODIs against England
Rohit, available for India only in ODIs, did not pass the ‘fire test’. Even in the first two ODIs against England, Rohit’s bat appeared silent. In the first match played at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Rohit played an innings of 11 runs in 21 balls. After this, in the second ODI in Cardiff, he scored 26 runs in 47 balls. Now it will be interesting to see how they perform in the third ODI.
