BCCI Quashes Speculation On Rohit’s ODI Future, Dismisses Rumours On Director Of Cricket Role

By Pramit Meher

**Rohit Safe: BCCI Squashes ODI Future & Director Role Rumours After Key Review Meet** Fellow fans, here's what went down in today's crucial BCCI review meeting. Rohit Sharma's ODI spot is NOT up for debate. Secretary Devajit Saikia shut down all speculation bluntly: *"He's playing superbly in all matches. In the last match he scored 138-148. So why is there speculation?"* Straight talk, no room for the tabloids. **Who attended?** Head coach Gautam Gambhir, CoE head VVS Laxman, T20I skipper Shreyas Iyer, and Test/ODI captain Shubman Gill. Also present: President Mithun Manhas, Joint Secretary Prabhtej Singh Bhatia, and interim CEO Hemang Amin. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar missed it—out of Mumbai on short notice, couldn't even join online. **Why the meeting?** India's been struggling overseas—T20I losses to England & Ireland, plus the ODI series defeat. This was the long-pending review (was meant for July, finally held today). The board mapped out a roadmap targeting the 2027 ODI World Cup, including strategies for future SENA tours. **Other rumours killed:** No discussion on Agarkar's tenure, selection committee changes, or hiring a Director of Cricket. *"We did not have any such discussions, nor did we have such intentions,"* Saikia said. **Upcoming schedule ahead:** T20Is vs Afghanistan, whiteball games vs West Indies, Asian Games T20 in Japan, multiformat NZ tour, ODIs vs Zimbabwe, and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy vs Australia at home. Selectors will decide team combos for the WI and NZ series separately. More soul-searching expected as India gears up for a heavy year. 🏏 *Source: IANS* Source: Cricketnmore
