BCCI president says fitness and performance decide Kohli and Rohit selection

BCCI president Mithun Manhas said selection of senior players including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for the 2027 ODI World Cup will rest on fitness and performance, not age.

Manhas added that experience from Kohli, Rohit and Hardik Pandya will support Shubman Gill's leadership during the tournament. He said distributing responsibilities among senior players will ease the captain's workload.

Gill has already led Gujarat Titans and India. Manhas said the seniors' presence will be an advantage rather than a complication.
