Virat Kohli and Rohit last played in Indian Premier League (IPL). Virat won IPL Trophy for the first time on June 3, while Rohit’s last competitive match for Indians in Mumbai was 1 June.

“They will have to play Vijay Hazare Trophy in India whenever it is scheduled if it is not negotiated with ODI international tournaments. This is one way to crop and maintain a match practice,” Gavascar told India today.

Should Kohl and Rohit play in Vijay Hazare Trophy to prepare for the World Championship in 2027?
Rohit will be 40 and Kohli 37 when the World Championship 2027 comes, and Gavascar believes that the veteran duo would be difficult to stay in the selection competition unless they participate in the domestic cricket.“It depends largely on the number of one -day matches that India plays in the next few years,” Gavascar said.“Look, it’s not easy to play only seven or eight ODIs in the season and prepare for something as big as the World Cup.“For those eight matches with white balls, there are probably five T20 and three ODI.

Gavascar also took the cunning digging to the availability of duo for Australia.“I’m pretty sure that if it was a trip to Zimbabwe or Western India, both wouldn’t be available.”“But because it’s in Australia and because India has lost to Australia in the World Cup final, maybe that’s why they both decided, yes, I want to be available to it,” he said.
