Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the Indian cricket team in the three T20 Internationals against New Zealand, starting November 17, while Virat Kohli’s future as ODI captain will be discussed when the BCCI leadership and the national selectors meet in the next couple of days.
The possibility of outgoing T20 skipper Kohli losing his ODI captaincy is strong.
Another failure to win an ICC tournament will put his leadership future in doubt and when BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah hold a virtual meet with the national selectors in a couple of days’ time, the leadership issue will be discussed.
Currently, India don’t have any ODI assignments this year and even next year, there are very few 50-over games on schedule with another T20 World Cup set to be played in Australia.
