NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma is currently enjoying time abroad with his family following the T20 World Cup felicitation event in Mumbai on July 4. There was speculation that he might skip the Sri Lanka tour and return only for the home season in September. However, he has confirmed his availability for the ODI series and is now part of the 15-man squad for the series against Sri Lanka.
Rohit has retired from T20 Internationals after leading Team India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, where they triumphed over South Africa in a thrilling final.
Virat Kohli, who also retired from T20Is following India’s T20 World Cup win, will join Rohit in the ODI series.
On Sunday, Rohit shared a photo on Instagram with his wife Ritika and daughter Samaira, captioning it “Switch off & reset.”

With only six ODIs remaining, including the final three against Sri Lanka before next year’s Champions Trophy, it is crucial for both captain Rohit and key batter Virat to participate in this series.
This will allow the new coach Gautam Gambhir to assess tactical combinations.
