BCCI President Says Fitness and Performance Key for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's 2027 Selection
BCCI president Mithun Manhas emphasized that fitness and on-field performance, rather than age, should guide selection decisions for India's 2027 ODI World Cup squad. While Virat Kohli's consistent form and fitness make his selection likely, Rohit Sharma's recent injury struggles have raised questions despite promising comebacks. The selection committee has managed transitions pragmatically, introducing new players while retaining experienced ones. Manhas noted that final decisions rest with selectors and coaching staff, highlighting the value of senior players in supporting emerging leaders like Shubman Gill.
