Rohit Sharma to continue as India captain, BCCI satisfied with his leadership – Report

The Board of Control for Cricket in India conducted a review meeting in which the roadmap for the 2023 World Cup was discussed. As per the reports, the Indian board has shortlisted 20 players for the 2023 World Cup.

Meanwhile, there were recent reports which suggested that Rohit Sharma could be sacked as Indian captain following the team’s exit from the T20 World Cup. However, as per the latest reports, Rohit will continue to lead the team in all three formats and BCCI is satisfied with his leadership.

BCCI president Roger Binny, secretary Jay Shah, head coach Rahul Dravid, previous selection committee chairman Chetan Sharma and National Cricket Academy head VVS Laxman were part of the review meeting.

“Rohit is leading India in Tests and ODIs and there were no such discussions about his future as a leader in these two formats. Look at his captaincy record in Tests and ODIs and it is more than impressive,” a BCCI source privy to the development was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.

Meanwhile, a new selection committee will also be picked by the BCCI. Chetan Sharma has once again applied for the role of the chief selector and the source added his experience will be vital with the World Cup 10 months away.

“First things first, if Chetan wouldn’t be told, he wouldn’t have applied in first place. That itself is an indication. India has a World Cup to play in 10 months. Chetan and Harvinder’s presence will add continuity along with three new members,” the source added.

PTI also reported that former opener SS Das is a favorite from the East Zone. From the West, Gujarat veteran Mukund Parmar, Salil Ankola, and Sameer Dighe have put their hats in the ring.

India will take on Sri Lanka in three-match T20I series, starting Tuesday in Mumbai. Hardik Pandya will lead the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
