Former BCCI selector Saba Karim opined that while Virat Kohli will certainly be a part of India's 2027 World Cup plans, Rohit Sharma may need to do some 'heavy lifting'.

Agarkar said Suryakumar's recent form was one of the factors behind the change, though not the only one.

The Chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Senior Men's Selection Committee, Ajit Agarkar, stated that it was a "tough decision" but "in the interest of what the team needs going forward" to replace Suryakumar Yadav as India's T20I captain and exclude him from the squad for the forthcoming Ireland and England series.

Just by retiring Vijay Shankar may have given a final push to a possible policy change by BCCI for players who take part in the foreign leagues.

Rohit injured his hamstring during the IPL and was picked for the ODIs, subject to fitness clearance.

The selection meeting will take place at the BCCI headquarters, after which chief selector Ajit Agarkar and BCCI honorary secretary Devajit Saikia will address the media.

The BCCI chief selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar in Mumbai to pick the India squads for the T20I series against Ireland and England, as well as the 2026 Asian Games.
