As India gears up for the three-match ODI series against England starting February 6, all eyes are on Rohit Sharma, who will lead Team India. Not just that—he is also set to captain the side in the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, questions over his long-term future as India’s leader have started surfacing.
Reports suggest that the BCCI is on the verge of making a major announcement regarding Rohit’s future. While he is confirmed to lead in the Champions Trophy, his role beyond that remains uncertain. India is scheduled to play a Test series against England post the ICC event, but before that, Rohit is expected to reveal his future plans to the BCCI.
The 36-year-old has been struggling with form for a while now. His poor run saw him miss out on the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With the ICC tournaments ahead, the BCCI is likely to start planning for the future, and finding a new leader for Team India could be on their priority list.
