Since the ODI World Cup is still two years away, the bigger question is whether Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be fit to play the marquee event. By the time the 14th edition of the prestigious tournament takes place, Rohit and Virat would be 40 and 38 years old, respectively, making their fitness, form, and workload management key factors to determine their inclusion in the World Cup squad.
According to the PTI report, the source close to the BCCI stated that the board will have discussions with them, adding that they wanted to ‘try’ a few youngsters before the ODI World Cup begins.
“Yes, it will be discussed soon. We still have more than two years for the next World Cup (November 2027). Both Kohli and Rohit will be pushing 40 by then, so there has to be a clear plan ahead for the big event, as our last win was in 2011. We also need to try out a few youngsters in time.” A BCCI source told PTI.
