Divya Delhi: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from T20 and Test, leaving their ODI futures uncertain. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's international futures are questionable. A recent media rumor suggests the two senior Indian cricketers' ODI careers may end after October. The article suggests that the two may play in India's top 50-over competition, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, to qualify for the 2027 ICC ODI World Cup. India is likely to prioritize games. A recent PTI report suggests that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is more concerned about Kohli and Rohit's availability for India A games than the Vijay Hazare Trophy. They may not play in the Vijay Hazare competition due to India's international scheduling. Even if they play the Vijay Hazare Trophy, they'll have played six ODIs. India A will play South Africa A in three List A games (50 overs) at Rajkot on November 13, 16, and 19 between the Australia and South Africa ODI series. Duo Has Fewer International Commitments Kohli and Rohit have deliberately cut international engagements. After winning the T20 World Cup in Barbados last summer, the duo retired from T20Is. They retired from Tests in May, a few days before India's visit to England, leaving ODIs as their only international format.
