Rohit Sharma was reportedly ready to retire after a selection committee member told him in July that the panel had decided to move on and asked if he could announce his exit after the Lord’s ODI against England. The report said Rohit was angry but agreed. However, the former India captain scored 138 at Lord’s, temporarily halting retirement speculation, though the century did not guarantee his place for the 2027 ODI World Cup. His future, along with those of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, will be discussed at Thursday’s BCCI meeting in Mumbai as India begins preparations for next year’s World Cup in Africa. (PC: HT)
