BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar has confirmed at the NDTV World Summit 2025 that a final decision regarding star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's spots in India's 2027 ODI World Cup squad has not been taken yet.

There has been a lot of chatter over the two stalwarts' future in ODIs after Shubman Gill replaced Rohit as the 50-over format captain ahead of the series against Australia, starting on Sunday.

However, Agarkar pointed out that considering the achievements of both cricketers, they will not be 'put to the test' in every match they play from now on. Both Rohit and Kohli are part of India's squad for the upcoming ODI series against Australia.

"They are part of the squad at the moment in Australia. They are incredible players, but it is not the forum to harp on about individual players. Two years from now, it is difficult to say what the situation will be.

Who knows, there can be younger players who will take the spot. Both are great players, and they will not be put to the test in every match. Once they start playing, we will assess the situation. It is about winning trophies, not just runs.

It is not like if they score three hundreds in the Australia series, they will play the World Cup in 2027. We have to take the situation into consideration," Agarkar said at the NDTV World Summit 2025.
