ICC may have just set fans of Indian crickets of buzzing – a seemingly ordinary poster. Graphics promoting Indian tour in England in 2026 were both English captain Harry Brook and contemporary Indian Captain Odi Rohit Sharma. Selection of image has fans thought: if Rohit is in front and Wednesday, could he remain the captain of ODI through the World Championship in 2027?
Already after victory in India 2024 T20 T20 T20i, Rohit got out of the T20i format and after the English series resigned from the test cricket. This leaves it as one format warrior, only ODI focused.
ICC has since canceled the contribution for unknown reasons.
The conspiracy thickens the previous knowledge from the head of Indian coach Gautam Gambhir. He stressed that planning for 2027 is premature.
“We still have the previous World Cup T20, and this is again a huge tournament that will take place in India in February-March-March. So the whole focus at the moment-POP Anglii-be at the World Cup T20.
“If you continue to play, age is just a number,” he added.
Meanwhile, a leading image is developing across formats. In the tests, the new captain Shaubman Gill navigated India into a bold 2-2 draw against England and offered the taste of trust and peace. In the shortest format with Suryakumar Yadav became a permanent Indian captain T20i, which overcame the transition from Rohit’s influence.
Whether Rohit directs ODI by 2027, remains uncertain-but the ICC poster and Gambir’s open attitude have given a lot to the fans.
