Ajinkya Rahane urges BCCI to guarantee Rohit Sharma's 2027 World Cup spot

Rahane called for a clear commitment to Rohit Sharma's place in India's 2027 World Cup squad.

Ajinkya Rahane said India should tell Rohit Sharma once that he will play the 2027 ODI World Cup rather than assess his place series by series. Rahane told the Indian Express that Rohit's contribution over many years makes the experience essential for the tournament.

He argued that constantly questioning a senior player's position affects rhythm and mindset. Rahane added that the same clarity should be given to Virat Kohli.

Speculation about Rohit's future resurfaced after India's ODI series in England despite the opener scoring a century at Lord's.
