 "Rohit Sharma and BCCI set for major talks over captain's ODI future in October: Report")
India’s current ODI captain Rohit Sharma is set to hold major talks with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over his future with the Men in Blue after the Asia Cup 2025, according to a media report. Rohit, who has already retired from T20Is and Tests, continues to be India’s captain in the 50-over format. However, it’s important to note that India has not played any ODI since the Champions Trophy 2025 final in early March 2025.
The 38-year-old Rohit’s next international match will be in October when India will be travelling to Australia for a three-match ODI series. The ODIs in Bangladesh that were to happen in August have been cancelled , forcing Rohit into an unintended long break.

His prolonged absence from the international scene has also raised questions on whether he is the right man to captain the Indian ODI side, as he would be over 40 by the time the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia comes around. Earlier, a report in Dainik Jagran had claimed that Rohit and Virat Kohli could be asked to retire from ODIs after the Australia tour in October.
Another report in the same newspaper has now claimed that BCCI is planning to hold a discussion with Rohit after the Asia Cup 2025, which ends on 28 September. The meeting that means could take place in October.
The Asia Cup will be played in the T20I format and after the tournament, the BCCI will hold a meeting to discuss the future strategy for the ODI team . This will then be communicated to both Rohit and Kohli.
The next big calls in ODI team selection will depend on the decisions of Rohit and Kohli, but the report added that a BCCI source has claimed Shreyas Iyer is the favourite to replace Rohit as ODI captain.

The BCCI source said that BCCI is looking at Iyer as the next ODI captain, at least till the 2027 ODI World Cup, and this responsibility would not go to Shubman Gill, who is already the Test captain and now the vice-captain in the T20Is. Gill is expected to replace Suryakumar Yadav as India’s T20I captain after the 2026 World Cup.
Meanwhile, it has also been reported by RevSportz that Rohit may play the unofficial three-match ODI series between India ‘A’ and Australia ‘A’ in Mumbai in September-October in Kanpur. Currently, he is undergoing individual training with former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar in Mumbai.
