Ajit Agarkar affirms that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's future would be determined following the Champions Trophy.

Ajit Agarkar revealed that the destiny of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be decided following the ICC event, but he kept silent about the BCCI's position on the issue.

The future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in international cricket has become increasingly questionable. Following their disappointing performance in Australia, both senior Indian batsmen faced criticism, which led to discussions over whether they would play on after the upcoming Champions Trophy. Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selectors, indicated that their fate will be decided following the ICC competition, but he kept silent about the BCCI's position on the issue.

India has been struggling for a long time with how and when to deal with the eventual switch from Rohit and Kohli to the next generation of players. However, the team's terrible 0–3 thrashing at home against New Zealand and 1-3 loss in Australia during the last few months in Test cricket demonstrated that the changeover is probably going to occur sooner rather than later.

Critics and analysts even debated whether Rohit and Kohli would be included in the India squad for the June tour of England, which would start a new WTC cycle, in light of the team's terrible Test cricket performance. This suggests that an era may come to an end for India in the Champions Trophy.

"After the Champions Trophy is over, we'll see."
During the press conference on the Champions Trophy squad announcement in Mumbai on Saturday, Agarkar was questioned about the transition phase amid the most contentious issue in Indian cricket.

"The Champions Trophy is a month away," he stated. In one-day cricket, these guys have been outstanding performances. After the Champions Trophy is over, we'll have a little more time to sit down and evaluate everyone's progress. not only one of the participants, but also our future course. However, the Champions Trophy and one-day cricket are currently the main topics of discussion.

After a diminishing batting comeback in Test cricket since September, in which he amassed 164 runs at 10.93 in eight Tests, Rohit affirmed his availability for Mumbai's January 23 Ranji Trophy matchup against Jammu and Kashmir. Even though Kohli was listed as a probable for Delhi's game against Saurashtra in Rajkot, he withdrew, allegedly due to a neck injury.
