Overview

  • Ravichandran Ashwin questioned the BCCI’s communication and lack of a clear roadmap, stressing structured knowledge transfer for senior players.
  • Ashwin said Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should feature in India A games or the Vijay Hazare Trophy to show commitment and regain 50-over rhythm.
  • Shubman Gill has been installed as India’s ODI captain, with selectors presenting the move as long‑term leadership grooming for 2027.
  • Chief selector Ajit Agarkar reiterated that centrally contracted players are expected to play domestic cricket, and Kohli and Rohit are in the ODI squad for Australia from October 19.
  • Public scrutiny has intensified, with former England pacer Steve Harmison suggesting Agarkar’s decisions could put him under pressure.
