Rohit Sharma was sacked as India’s ODI captain<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Former India cricketer Saba Karim has said that Ajit Agarkar & Co. shouldn\u2019t have selected Rohit Sharma for the upcoming Australia tour, reasoning that if he isn\u2019t the captain for the ODI series, it means the selection committee isn\u2019t looking at him for the 2027 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Karim raised concerns about the selection committee\u2019s long-term strategy for the 2027 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Karim, who has held several administrative roles, including national selector and BCCI General Manager of Cricket Operations, didn\u2019t hold back in criticising what he perceives as inconsistent planning by the current management.<\/p>\n

Karim has said that if the selectors believe Rohit would not play in the 2027 World Cup, they should clearly define his role in the side in the meantime.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeam mein aap kyon rakh rahe hain?<\/em>” (Why are you keeping him in the team?). Agar woh captain nahin hain to phir ek baat saaf hai na ki aap unka future dekh nahi rahe ki wo 2027 ke World Cup mein rahenge, to phir aap aise khiladi ko team mein nahin rakhiye jo aapko lagta hain ki 2027 mein aapke hisaab se maujood nahin rahenge<\/em>,” Karim said. (If he isn\u2019t captaining, then it\u2019s clear that you don\u2019t see his future. You don\u2019t feel that he will be a part of the 2027 World Cup. So, don\u2019t keep a player whom you don\u2019t feel would be a part of the 2027 World Cup.)<\/p>\n

Notably, India\u2019s ODI captaincy change came as Agarkar highlighted the importance of giving new captain Shubman Gill sufficient time to prepare for the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.<\/p>\n

Agarkar pointed to the limited ODI calendar and the challenge of managing three different skippers across formats as key reasons for the decision.<\/p>\n

Rohit is the only skipper, besides former India captain MS Dhoni, to lead India to three ICC white-ball finals, bagging the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy titles, while finishing as runner-up in the ODI World Cup as well.<\/p>\n
