BCCI to review Rohit Sharma's role and ODI strategy ahead of 2027 World Cup

Senior BCCI members are set to gather in Mumbai for a comprehensive performance review covering the ODI side's recent setbacks in Ireland, England and Sri Lanka. Attendees will include secretary Devajit Saikia, president Mithun Manhas, head coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, and Centre of Excellence chief VVS Laxman, with captains Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer also expected. Central to the talks is Rohit Sharma's future, with officials weighing a flexible, series-by-series approach rather than a fixed role through the 2027 World Cup cycle.

The board will also grapple with injury-related roster gaps, such as Hardik Pandya's limited overs and Nitish Kumar Reddy's pending fitness clearance. Additional topics include potential expansion of Laxman's duties, a possible Director of Cricket post, and reviving the Board President’s XI fixture for touring teams.
