The BCCI has firmly rejected speculation that the third ODI against England at Lord's would be Rohit Sharma's final international match. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia clarified that the veteran opener remains an important part of India's ODI plans and will continue representing the country. The statement comes after widespread reports suggested selectors were preparing to move beyond the former captain ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Team management has also backed Rohit despite his recent lean run with the bat, expressing confidence in his ability to regain form and contribute significantly in future ODI assignments. (PC: X)
