BCCI President Says Fitness, Performance Key for Kohli and Rohit's 2027 World Cup Selection
BCCI president Mithun Manhas stated that selection for the 2027 ODI World Cup will depend on players' fitness and performance, not age. He emphasized that decisions lie with selectors and coaches, not the board. Veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, both former captains, recently retired from T20Is and Tests but continue to perform in ODIs. Their experience is seen as valuable for the current team leadership ahead of the tournament co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
