Indian star Rohit Sharma has surprised all with a massive India A comeback in the unofficial ODI series against Australia A, making his plans clear ahead of the Australia white-ball tour, hence ruling out any possibility for a self-retirement call.
With the immense buzz building around Rohit Sharma's possible exit from the Indian ODI side as well, a discussion with the BCCI is highly anticipated. Even media sources have clarified that BCCI would not make any decision without consultation with the cricketer.
Rohit has an unmatched legacy in the format for India, as the batter has the fourth most runs for India while also being the second most successful ICC captain with two ICC trophies under his belt.
Indian veteran Rohit Sharma is likely to make his ODI comeback for India A in the series against Australia A. The series will be marked as an unofficial clash between cricketers from both nations. The series will be held amid the Asia Cup matches.
With this announcement, Rohit, who has been constantly witnessed practicing in the nets, makes his intentions clear of not backing out from international cricket without giving tough competition.
Despite form not being a reason behind talks over Rohit's snub, he probably wants to keep himself match fit with the India A appearance, since the last tournament he played was the IPL, and for India, it was back in the Champions Trophy.

Rohit's ODI fate kept on hold by the BCCI
Rohit's fate in ODIs is yet to be planned by the BCCI, as they would next shift their focus to the two upcoming World Cups in T20 as well as ODI format. After the conclusion of the Asia Cup, the Indian management will decide on the fortunes of Rohit Sharma as well as Virat Kohli.
Though Shreyas Iyer has been named as Rohit's successor as per media reports, his promotion would solely depend on whether Rohit still aims to continue playing the format or if he has been convinced by the BCCI to retire.
Rohit's decision to play for India A match only highlights his willingness to play for India; however, he might agree to a captaincy swap and continue as an opener until Rohit keeps contributing with the bat.
