While Rohit’s international future is now under serious doubt, Kohli has reportedly received strong backing from the Indian think tank for the mega event. The selectors want young guns for the future, but Kohli remains a key part of India's ICC World Cup 2027 plans.
As part of this plan, Rohit Sharma is reportedly no longer being considered as India's first-choice opener for the tournament. Even the former Indian captain was already informed about the decision.
Virat Kohli gets full backing for ICC ODI World Cup 2027
However, things are different for Virat Kohli. The same PTI report claimed that both Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir have full faith in Kohli. There are no concerns about his fitness or form, and he is an automatic choice for India's 2027 ICC ODI World Cup squad.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has not been at his best in the ongoing ODI series against England. The former Indian captain has scored only 11 runs in the first match and then managed 26 runs off 47 balls in the second ODI at Cardiff.
Interestingly, the new plan has been completely backed by the chief selector Agarkar, but his team will not ask Rohit Sharma to retire from ODI cricket. Instead, they simply want to move forward by giving younger players more chances before the ICC World Cup next year.
Yashasvi Jaiswal to get extended ODI run before World Cup
The Men in Blue are expected to play around 20 ODIs before the 2027 ICC ODI World Cup. The selectors reportedly want Jaiswal to play as many of these matches as possible so that he gets enough experience and becomes a settled opener before the big tournament.
A senior BCCI source was quoted as saying by PTI: “There are close to 20 ODIs before the World Cup, and the selectors want Jaiswal to get an extended run in the side. That continuity is important for his development.”
