The Story in Brief
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has denied reports that selectors wanted to drop Rohit Sharma after the ODI series against England last month. Saikia said no decision on the former India captain’s future has been made, countering claims of internal friction. The reports, which have not been independently confirmed, suggested the selection committee was not keen to continue with Rohit. Saikia’s statement aims to quell speculation, but questions around Rohit’s place in the Test side for the upcoming season remain open.
The Indian Opinion
The usual cycle of speculation around a senior cricketer’s future has begun again, with unnamed sources feeding stories of a rift and selectors wanting Rohit out. The BCCI secretary has publicly denied any such decision, yet the whispers persist. Until the selectors actually meet or a squad is announced without him, this remains just noise. The real test will come when the next Test assignment is picked: will Rohit be named, or will the board’s words prove hollow?
