Rohit Sharma likely to quit international cricket after Champions Trophy 2025

Rohit Sharma, the ODI and Test captain of India, is likely to announce his retirement from international cricket after the upcoming ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, Indian media reported on Tuesday.

According to a recent report, Rohit Sharma, who has already stepped down from T20 cricket after successfully guiding India to a triumphant victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, is reportedly considering retirement from the remaining formats as well.

Sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suggest that there was a mutual agreement for Sharma to captain the former champions in the Champions Trophy, under the stipulation that he would call it quits afterwards.

It’s worth noting that Rohit Sharma has been under fire lately due to his below-par performance in the Test series against New Zealand and Australia.

He was rested from the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this month after accumulating a mere 31 runs over the course of five innings during the five-match series.

Further reports also suggest that Rohit Sharma is likely to travel to Pakistan for a pre-tournament photoshoot and a joint press conference featuring the captains of all participating teams of the Champions Trophy.

This event, organised under ICC rules, traditionally takes place in the host country, which for 2025 is Pakistan.

A final decision on Rohit Sharma’s participation in the event is yet to be made, with considerations underway. Indian media noted, “If this visit materialises, it will be a joyous moment for cricket fans in both nations.”
