After this, he will be dropped from the Indian team, as the selection committee has not included him in the plans for the World Cup 2027. Rohit has also been informed about this and head coach Gautam Gambhir is also aware.
However, as soon as he got the information about his being dropped, Rohit Sharma also talked to some BCCI officials but the information has not been clearly revealed yet. Meanwhile, there is a possibility of Rohit announcing his retirement after the ODI to be held on July 19 at Lord’s. While everyone is worried about Rohit, the departure of head coach Gautam Gambhir also seems certain before the Zimbabwe tour and he will not be sent there.
Gautam Gambhir is less likely to go on Zimbabwe tour
Actually, after the England tour ending on July 20, India has to go on Zimbabwe tour. During this period, a three-match T20 series will be organized between the two teams. The series will start from July 23 in Harare and the last two matches will be played on July 25 and 26.
There is no possibility of head coach Gautam Gambhir going with Team India on this tour. Most of the main players are included in the squad but instead of Gambhir, another veteran can be seen as the head coach.
Laxman can become head coach in place of Gambhir, will coach Team India in Zimbabwe
Team India has a very busy schedule in the next few months. Where players in teams change depending on the format. This helps in managing his workload but this is not the case with head coach Gautam Gambhir. He took charge against Afghanistan and then went on the Ireland-England tour.
However, now he is not likely to go on the Zimbabwe tour, because next month India has to play a two-match Test series in Sri Lanka from August 15. Before this, Gambhir may be given a break of a few days. For this reason, BCCI Center of Excellence chief VVS Laxman can be seen as the head coach. Along with him, Hrishikesh Kanitkar as batting coach and Sunil Joshi as bowling coach are also expected to get a chance.
