It may happen that neither Shubman Gill nor Shubman Gill features in the Asia Cup 2025. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli won’t be told to retire from ODIs. Karun Nair could keep his spot in India’s Test team. New Zealand will train at the CSK Academy. Lastly, Rajat Patidar has been involved in a hilarious call scandal.
Rohit-Kohli ODI future
The BCCI won’t take a call on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s ODI future just yet. It was being reported that the board wants to move on from the modern greats, keeping the ODI World Cup 2027 in mind. But it turns out that they are currently solely focused on the T20 World Cup 2026.

Karun Nair to play vs West Indies?
In a chat with InsideSport, Karun Nair hinted that he might be selected for the next Test series India plays against the West Indies. Nair didn’t do that well against England, scoring just 205 runs at 25.62 with just 1 fifty in 8 innings. But it seems the selector will continue with Nair.
