Rohit said at the press conference, “My focus is on the series against England.”
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said in a press conference ahead of the match that his entire focus is on England and Champions Trophy matches. When asked about Rohit’s cricketing future on Wednesday, he said, it is not right to talk about my career right now. I am preparing for the coming matches.
India will play the first ODI against England tomorrow in Nagpur. The team will have the last chance to strengthen the preparations for the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, deciding the combination of the team will be the biggest question for captain Rohit.
I am not here to talk on my cricketing future Rohit said in a press conference before the match, it is not right to talk about my future here. There are 3 ODIs and Champions Trophy this month. Many reports have been going on on my cricketing future and I am not sitting here to clarify those reports.
The Indian captain further said, 3 matches against England and Champions Trophy are very important for me. My focus is on these games and I will see what happens after that.

The main things of Rohit’s press conference …
- Facing ups and downs many times 37 -year -old Rohit has been struggling with poor form for some time. He scored only 31 runs in 5 innings of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia at an average of 6.20. Recently, such reports were revealed in which BCCI asked him to tell him about his future plans after the Champions Trophy. Rohit said, ODIs are a separate format. There will be ups and downs as a cricketer and I have faced them many times in my career. This is nothing new to me. We know that every day is a new day, every series is a new series.
- There is no reason for me to look back On the question of poor form in Test cricket, Rohit said, “I am waiting for the challenge, I am not seeing what has happened in the last day.” I have no reason to look back. It is important that I give import to my future.
- It is difficult to choose one of Rahul and Pant India have played only two ODI series against South Africa and Sri Lanka after the 2023 World Cup. Rohit said, the players of the team understand their role and response well. It is very difficult to choose one of Rahul and Pant. Rahul did excellent wicketkeeping and batting during the 2023 World Cup. We can include only one of these in the playing-XI. Both can win any match on their own.
- Varun included in our plan India has included Varun Chakraborty in the ODI team. On him, Rohit said that the in-form mystery spinner can get a chance to play. He has performed brilliantly. Right now, we are not thinking about whether to take them (in the Champions Trophy) or not, but they are part of our future plan.
First ODI tomorrow in Nagpur The first match between India and England will be played at Vidarbha Cricket Stadium in Nagpur on Thursday. For the match, the English team announced their playing-XI today. Senior batsman in the team has returned to Root.
