Overview
- Board and team management have conveyed that the ODI veterans must feature in domestic one-dayers to continue for India, according to multiple reports.
- Rohit Sharma has informed the Mumbai Cricket Association he will be available for the Vijay Hazare Trophy, with a tentative domestic return flagged.
- Reports say Rohit signalled possible Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 participation, though his inclusion in the upcoming South Africa ODI series makes that unlikely.
- Virat Kohli’s availability for the Vijay Hazare Trophy remains unresolved, with a December 24 fixture identified as a practical window between home ODI series.
- Chairman Ajit Agarkar has reiterated that players should turn out in domestic cricket when free, as Kohli and Rohit now focus solely on ODIs after retiring from Tests and T20Is.
