The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is unhappy with the selectors for leaking information on Rohit Sharma‘s future, fuelling speculations of his retirement. On Thursday, reports stated that the selectors had informed the Hitman that he was no longer in their scheme of things for the 50-over format. This led to rumours circulating that the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI at Lord’s could be Rohit’s final international game. While the BCCI has strongly refuted such claims, it has also fired a warning to the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee over the matter.

Additionally, the report claims that Sharma has never hidden his desire to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. The report cites two section of sources making contradictory claims – one side claiming that the Hitman is in no mood to retire while the other claims that he is troubled by the attitude of the selectors and the head coach, and may call it quits.
Rohit’s returns with the bat have been poor in 2026. In 8 innings, he has only managed to score 241 runs at an average of 30.12, and has just one half-century to his name. In the last two ENG vs IND ODIs, the Hitman managed scores of just 11 and 26.
On Thursday, a report stated that the selection panel had spoken to Rohit, as well as Yashasvi Jaiswal regarding their decision last week, before bringing their plan in effect. The panel also wants to give more chances to Jaiswal, who has been waiting for his chance for a long time now, despite performing well in the limited opportunities, he has gotten.
“Selectors have informed Rohit he is not in their scheme of things post the England tour and they are moving on from him after this series. Though he wanted to continue, especially after working on his fitness. The selectors have left the ball in Sharma’s court to decide his future,” a source from BCCI had told The Indian Express.
