BCCI Confirms Rohit Sharma Will Continue Playing, Denies Retirement Rumors
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla has dismissed rumors about Rohit Sharma's retirement from international cricket, affirming the 39-year-old opener remains a key part of India's ODI team. Following speculation intensified during India's England tour, Rohit responded with a historic 138-run century at Lord's, becoming the first Indian to score an ODI hundred there. Both Shukla and Rohit emphasized that external speculation does not affect his focus, with selectors retaining authority over team decisions and no immediate plans for management changes.
