The Indian cricket team is all set to lock horns with West Indies in the second T20I match. Ahead of the second match, all-format captain Rohit Sharma has opened up about his future plans with the Indian cricket team at a promotional event in the United States.

Rohit Sharma took over the reins from Virat Kohli as the all-format captain of the Indian side in 2021. Under Rohit’s leadership, India made it to the semi-finals of the ICC World T20 last year. The Rohit-led team India also contested the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) against Australia at The Oval. However, the team couldn’t win the prestigious ICC trophies.

After contesting back-to-back finals in ICC events, the Asian giants will be eager to end their trophy drought in the 2023 edition of the ODI World Cup 2023 at home. However, with the ODI World Cup 2023 just around the corner, there have been doubts over Rohit Sharma’s career. ‘Will the 2023 World Cup be Rohit’s swansong?’, this has become one of the most discussed topics.

Rohit Sharma Opens Up On His Retirement Plans

The 36-year-old has finally opened up his retirement talks after the West Indies ODI series. In a video shared on Twitter, Rohit shared his views about the US co-hosting the World Cup in 2024. Rohit Sharma has confirmed that he is looking forward to visiting the country for the forthcoming edition of the T20 World Cup. He said:

“More than just going and enjoying, there is another reason to come here (in the USA). Because you know the World Cup is coming. In June, there will be the T20 World Cup (2024) happening in this part of the world. So, I’m pretty sure everyone is excited. So yaa, we look forward to that,” 

Notably, Rohit has been rested for the ongoing five-match T20I series against the West Indies in the ODI World Cup year. In Rohit’s absence, all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been leading the Indian side, especially in the white-ball format. Rohit Sharma Hardik Pandya is also being tipped to succeed Rohit Sharma as India’s next white-ball captain. However, he had earlier confirmed that he has no plans about giving up on the shortest format. He had said:

“At the moment I think it was made clear in the past that it’s a 50-over World Cup year for us. And for some of the guys, it’s not possible to play all formats. If you look at the schedule, there were back-to-back matches, so we decided on just looking at some players’ workload that we wanted to make sure that they get enough break time and manage them. I definitely fall in that (category) as well,”
