The discussion on India’s roadmap for the 2027 World Cup are going on, especially the veteran batters, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli’s 2027 World Cup future as well. However, they are “not meant for public consumption”, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in an interview to PTI, refusing to comment on anything about individual players and their much-speculated future in the team.

However, veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are determined to play the World Cup, chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir have been non-committal on whether the be selected as well. Rohit, 39, and Kohli, 37, are only active in the ODI format for India, and they both are in good form. Meanwhile, like Gambhir and Agarkar, Saikia has maintained silence on this as well.

“We have a very well-knit team and a lot of experts. All stakeholders are taken on board,” Saikia told PTI during an exclusive interaction. “Whatever decisions that are made involve the cricket committee, the selectors and all other stakeholders, including the support staff, the head coach and the players concerned. There are regular conversations taking place. For that reason, we do not need any special session of interaction. This is an ongoing process.”

“I do not think I should disclose anything before the media or the public because these are strategic discussions. I am not authorised to speak about them before the media. Secondly, these are matters that should remain within the boardroom,” he conlcuded.
