How long will Rohit Sharma play international cricket? This is the big question every cricket fan is asking right now, and it seems that the answer has been found. According to a recent report, this legendary player will not play international cricket after the Champions Trophy, meaning his career will end after this tournament. Rohit Sharma also participated in the BCCI selectors’ meeting held on January 11, from which the news emerged that he will remain the captain until the team finds a replacement. However, according to some newspaper reports, the Champions Trophy will be Rohit’s last international tournament.
Rohit Sharma Will Not Go on England Tour
According to a report by Dainik Jagran, Rohit Sharma will not be travelling on the upcoming England tour. His international career is expected to come to an end with the conclusion of the Champions Trophy. Team India is set to play three league matches in the Champions Trophy, with the last match scheduled for March 2. If the team does not qualify for the semi-finals, March 2 could mark the end of Rohit’s international career. However, if the team makes it to the semi-finals, his last match could be on March 4. In case India reaches the final, March 9 might be the final day of Rohit’s career.
Rohit’s Chances of Playing the England Tour Are Slim
Rohit Sharma’s recent performance on the Australia tour was disappointing, and during the Sydney Test, he even dropped himself from the playing eleven. Given these factors, it appears unlikely that he will travel to England. Furthermore, Team India has the 2027 World Cup to look forward to, but Rohit will be 40 years old by then. This makes his participation in the World Cup increasingly uncertain. Therefore, the Champions Trophy is being viewed as his last international tournament.
Team India’s Probable Playing XI for England Tour:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Harshit Rana.
