**BCCI to Discuss Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy Ahead of Australia ODIs**

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors are set to meet with Rohit Sharma to discuss his future as the captain of the Indian cricket team. This important meeting is scheduled for the third day of the ongoing first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad, according to Cricbuzz.

### Focus on Rohit’s Captaincy for Upcoming ODIs

The primary agenda of the discussion will be whether Rohit will continue leading the team in the upcoming One Day Internationals (ODIs) against Australia. This comes with an eye on the 2027 ODI World Cup, as the team management evaluates leadership options moving forward.

### Fitness and Leadership Under Scrutiny

Rohit recently cleared a fitness test at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, which makes his inclusion in the squad highly likely. However, his captaincy remains uncertain, and the selectors are expected to address this directly with him during their meeting.

Meanwhile, key players Hardik Pandya (quadriceps injury) and Rishabh Pant (recovering from a foot fracture) will miss these matches due to their current injuries.

### Workload Management for Shubman Gill

Another point of consideration is the demanding schedule faced by young opener Shubman Gill, who has been active in recent cricket engagements including the Asia Cup. Given his heavy workload, selectors might consider resting him for either the ODIs, T20Is, or both formats to manage his fitness and future performance effectively.

### Return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for Australia Tour

The upcoming Australia tour will also mark the much-anticipated return of senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to international cricket. This will be their first appearance since the 2025 Champions Trophy, and both have been focusing on regaining peak fitness after some time away from the international scene.

Their comeback is expected to add valuable experience and strength to India’s 50-over side.

### Champions Trophy Performances and Leadership Debate

During the recent Champions Trophy, Virat Kohli impressed with a century against Pakistan and was the top scorer for India in the semi-final against Australia. Rohit Sharma also bounced back from poor form with a match-winning innings against New Zealand in the final.

These stellar performances have reignited discussions about leadership roles within the team. However, there are currently no plans to remove Rohit Sharma from his captaincy duties in ODIs unless he decides to step back and focus solely on his batting.
