Rohit Sharma no more automatic selection after Lord's ODI
Rohit Sharma is no longer an automatic selection for India after the Lord's ODI against England.
The selection committee and team management have communicated to the BCCI that Rohit will not be the first-choice opener after the series.
Younger player Yashasvi Jaiswal is being considered for a longer run to prepare for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Rohit's form has been poor, scoring 26 off 47 balls in the second ODI, and his approach has become overly cautious since losing the ODI captaincy.
The third ODI at Lord's could be Rohit's last match for India, as selectors had already planned to drop him after the Afghanistan series.
