The BCCI selectors are keen to secure a long-term opening option for Team India and perhaps a fresh leadership option as well.

The BCCI wants Rohit Sharma to make up his mind about his future, while Virat Kohli is set to receive a longer rope.

While the BCCI selectors have reportedly asked India captain Rohit Sharma to communicate his future plans after the Champions Trophy 2025, no such communication has been made to Virat Kohli as the they remain confident about his future.

India captain Rohit Sharma might not have another option but to take a call on his future after the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy.

According to a report by The Times of India, Rohit Sharma has been asked by the BCCI to communicate his future plans after the Champions Trophy 2025. This is because India wants to have a transition keeping the World Test Championship 2027 and the ODI World Cup 2027 in mind.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and its selectors have asked Indian cricket team captain, Rohit Sharma, to explain his future plans post the ICC Champions Trophy. This comes as part of Team India's plans to prepare for the 2027 ODI World Cup and transition in Test cricket.

Virat ended the last year with just 655 international runs in 23 matches and 32 innings, averaging 21.83, with a century and two fifties to his name. His best score was 100*.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking at the bigger picture now and has asked skipper Rohit Sharma do decide on his future plans after the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy. The Indian skipper is under heavy scrutiny for his inexplicable loos of form for quite some time now.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's form will be critical to Team India's chances in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 later this month.
