In order to be eligible for selection, Ajit Agarkar expressed that he expects Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to take part in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, scheduled to be played later in the season.

In a significant development, the Indian selectors on Saturday handed over the ODI captaincy to young Test skipper Shubman Gill.

The committee is walking the talk on transition and only time will tell if they have taken some hard calls a bit too soon.

Rohit Sharma's international career is reaching its final station but he needs to bow out on his own terms.

Ajit Agarkar also explained that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been non-committal about the 2027 World Cup, raising doubts over their participation in the marquee event.

Gill was phenomenal in his maiden outing as India's Test captain.

Reports suggest that all players, including the senior duo, successfully cleared the tests and are now awaiting team selection for upcoming assignments.

The incident took place at India's last tour of Australia, which was nothing less than a disaster for the visitors.

Suryakumar displayed great maturity in both his on-field choices and his batsmanship during the match against Pakistan. The handshake controversy that followed the victory was also well-handled by by the skipper.
