In recent times, Rohit Sharma has been struggling to find himself among the runs. In the concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Team India skipper could manage to garner just 31 runs in five innings.
For now, there is no doubt that Rohit Sharma is planning to draw curtains on his international career. Earlier, there were reports that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had asked him to open up about his future plans after the conclusion of the Champions Trophy 2025.
The Champions Trophy 2025 will kick start from February 19 onwards, which will be hosted by Pakistan. The “Men in Blue” will play all their matches in Dubai. Team India will not travel to Pakistan following the security and political tensions between nations.
So far, there are no firm reports on Team India’s lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s feature in the Champions Trophy 2025.
