**BCCI to Discuss Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy Future Ahead of Australia ODIs**
*By Gaurav Tripathi | Oct 04, 2025, 09:26 AM*
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 of the Discussion
The main agenda will be to decide whether Rohit will continue leading the team in the upcoming One Day Internationals (ODIs) against Australia. The discussion will also take into account preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
### Rohit’s Fitness and Captaincy Under Scrutiny
Rohit recently cleared a fitness test at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, which helps secure his place in the squad. However, questions remain over his continued captaincy. The selectors are expected to address these concerns directly with Rohit during their meeting.
It is important to note that key players Hardik Pandya (recovering from a quadriceps injury) and Rishabh Pant (healing from a foot fracture) will miss the upcoming matches due to their injuries.
### Managing the Workload of Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill, who has actively participated in India’s recent matches including the Asia Cup, faces a demanding schedule ahead. Given the heavy workload, the selectors might consider resting him for either the ODIs, T20Is, or both formats to ensure he remains fit and fresh for future challenges.
### Return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for Australia Tour
Both Rohit Sharma and fellow senior batter Virat Kohli are anticipated to make their return to international cricket on India’s upcoming tour of Australia. This will mark their first international appearance since the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Their comeback is highly awaited, as their experience and skill are expected to strengthen India’s 50-over team setup. Both players have been focused on regaining full fitness following their time away from international cricket.
### Reviewing Champions Trophy Performances and Leadership
During the Champions Trophy, Virat Kohli impressed with a century against Pakistan and was the top scorer in the semi-final against Australia. Rohit Sharma also bounced back from poor form with a crucial, match-winning innings against New Zealand in the final.
Despite their outstanding performances, there are currently no plans to replace Rohit as the ODI captain unless he chooses to step down and focus solely on his batting.
