Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's days as T20 international players are reportedly over. The veteran duo have shouldered the burden of Indian cricket for more than a decade now but the BCCI is planning to blood young players in the T20I format with an eye on the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies.

As per a NDTV report, Hardik Pandya is probably going to be made the drawn out captain in the most shortest format. Center around youthful blood The new BCCI choice council, led by Chetan Sharma, which was selected on January 7, is probably going to hold chats with Virat and Rohit in regards to their T20I future, sources said. "BCCI needs a youthful group under Hardik Pandya for T20Is," sources said.

Hardik Pandya was made the captain of the Indian T20I side for the recently-concluded three-match series against Sri Lanka and that had led to speculation that Rohit's time as the T20I skipper might be coming to end. Both Rohit and Viratwere rested from the T20I squad against Sri Lanka while they were named in the ODI squad.

"We have just six T20Is, three are finished. So we'll make due, you know to take care of those young men till IPL. Then, at that point, we'll see what occurs after the IPL. Be that as it may, absolutely, I've not chosen to surrender the format," Rohit said.

Rohit added that a new look team had played the T20Is against Sri Lanka due to workload management of some of the senior players. "If you look at the schedule, there were back-to-back matches, so we decided to look at some players' workload. We wanted to make sure that they get enough break time and manage them. I definitely fall in that (category) as well," Rohit said.
