BCCI Slaps Notice on Selectors Over Rohit Retirement Leak

The BCCI has issued a notice to the selection panel after news of Rohit Sharma's impending retirement was leaked. The board had confidentially informed selectors that Sharma is not in their plans for the 2027 World Cup and asked them not to speak to the media.

Rohit is expected to retire after the third ODI against England. The BCCI wanted the announcement to appear as his own decision, but the leak suggests he is being pressured after poor performances.

Sharma had repeatedly stated his desire to play until the 2027 World Cup. However, the board and selectors now want to groom younger openers, leading to his exit.
