Overview

  • Former chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar said it is difficult to judge the form and fitness of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after their extended layoff from international cricket.
  • Both batters were officially named in India’s ODI squad, led by Shubman Gill, for a three-match series in Australia starting October 19.
  • Chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed the pair passed mandatory pre-season fitness tests and indicated current selection does not secure 2027 World Cup places.
  • The short series is being treated as an evaluation that could influence selections for upcoming ODIs against South Africa and New Zealand, according to coverage.
  • Vengsarkar urged selectors to prioritize younger, multi-format players rather than relying on past records of single-format veterans.
