ace Rohit Sharma Trudged back to the pavilion after another rusty knock of 26 off 47 balls in the second ODI against England in Cardiff on Thursday, he may have run out of time in his international career. YOU understand that the selection committee has decided that he will not be the first choice after the series that ends with the third ODI at Lord’s on Sunday. As things stand now, Sunday’s match could be the last match of 39 years for India.India were bowled out for 233 runs Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer scored fluent 65 and 66 respectively as the English pacers once again exploited the Indian batting’s struggles with bouncy deliveries. On Tuesday, TOI had reported that the team management and selectors want to give younger players Yashasvi Jaiswal a longer string to be ready for the ODI World Cup in South Africa in October-November 2027 and that Rohit was unlikely to get a full run if his form was not up to scratch in this series.It is learned that the team management and selectors wanted to give Jaiswal a full series in England, but they stuck with Rohit to give him another chance to regain his fluency. Sources say that the selection committee and team management have conveyed their views on Rohit to the Indian cricket board (BCCI). It will be interesting to see if the power centers in the court talk to Rohit or the selectors have a word with him.“The selectors had decided to drop him after the ODI series against Afghanistan at home last month. Rohit also refused to rest for the third ODI in Chennai to give Jaiswal a look. Eventually, captain. Shubman Gill should bat at No. 3 to accommodate Jaiswal,” a BCCI source told TOI.The team management has not been happy with Rohit’s performances since replacing him with Gill as the ODI captain after the victorious Champions Trophy campaign in March 2025. TOI had reported on May 19, before the squad for the Afghanistan series was chosen, that the BCCI was informed about the doubts the selectors and team management had about Rohit’s fitness and that they were not sure he could last till the World Cup when he will be over 40 years old.Rohit’s approach to batting changed completely after the Champions Trophy. He was calm and ultra-cautious in his approach. Management feels he needs three games to go on a streak. “It was always going to be a challenge for Rohit since he retired from the other two formats. He also played very little domestic cricket. He returned for two Vijay Hazare Trophy matches last season, one of which was against Sikkim. He needs more time to find his rhythm. The selectors have given their opinion. Now, it is up to Rohit and the board to decide how they want to move forward,” added the source.
