While both Kohli and Rohit have made it clear that they want to finish their international careers with the 2027 ODI World Cup, the BCCI and the team management refused to give a guarantee on their spots. And then, Rohit’s fitness concerns have made things uncertain at this stage.
The former spinner feels that a major tournament like the World Cup cannot be won only with young players. He stressed that the experienced cricketers, who have handled pressure many times on the big stage, will make a huge difference when the team needs them the most.
Ashwin sends strong message to Indian selectors and team management
The former Indian off-spinner has demanded clarity so that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can start preparations for the tournament in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
"If you want them, then make the decision now and make them feel absolutely comfortable and confident over the next year. It should not be a situation where, after two failures, the question comes up again. If you want them, back them and give them complete clarity.”

Kohli and Rohit are playing only ODI cricket after retiring from T20I and Test cricket. Both have already expressed their desire to continue until the 2027 World Cup. At the same time, India is preparing players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, and Ruturaj Gaikwad for the future.
Shubman Gill refuses to confirm Rohit Sharma as opener
He said that the final playing XI will be decided only after the selectors and team management review the squad and fitness reports. So, the opening slot is wide and open. Both Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been in stunning form and are strongly pushing their case for a place in the team. With competition heating up, Rohit Sharma’s position as opener is no longer safe.
