Kohli-Rohit Future: No clarity post Australia tour but will they play for India A games vs Aus A?
New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) Speculation over Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's ODI future has intensified, but the Indian cricket board is in no rush to take a call on the two maestros. With the Bangladesh series scheduled in August being called off, India's next ODI assignment will be an away series from October 19-25 against Australia. However whether Rohit and Kohli will be playing ODIs post Australia tour is a thing of conjecture. There is a school of thought in the BCCI that, for the duo to get ready for the Australia series Down Under, they can play a couple of India A games in India when the Australia A team — which will have Jake Fraser-McGurk in its ranks — tours. The three List A games will be played in Kanpur on September 30, October 3 and October 5, at the same time the senior team plays the first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. Indian cricket runs on narratives and currently it is about whether Kohli and Rohit, with a cumulative 83 ODI hundreds and 25,000-plus runs, can last till the October 2027 ODI World Cup when they would be 39 and 40-year old respectively. "Obviously, if they (Rohit and Kohli) have something in mind, they would tell the BCCI brass like they did before the England Test tour. But from an Indian team's perspective, the next big assignment is the T20 World Cup in February and preparations before that. The immediate focus will be on sending the best team for the Asia Cup T20 tournament, hoping all players are fit and available," a BCCI source privy to the developments told PTI on conditions of anonymity. The BCCI never believes in taking decisions in haste and would always gauge the mood and public perceptions before taking a call, which is sensitive in nature considering the massive fan following of the two players. The last tournament that they played was the Champions Trophy in Dubai where Kohli scored a hundred in a successful chase against Pakistan at the group league stage, while Rohit starred with a sublime half-century in the chase during the final. However, both have not played competitive cricket since the conclusion of the Indian Premier League. Kohli, who is now a resident of London, had recently posted an Instagram story after an indoor nets session, which is an indicator that he has started training. Rohit, who was also in the UK on a break post IPL, is recently back in Mumbai and would certainly be expected to start training in a few days. While there are some media reports about BCCI offering the duo a farewell game at Sydney on October 25, the BCCI source in the know of things said that as of now, no such discussions have taken place. As far as playing the Vijay Hazare Trophy is concerned, the source said that the national One-Day Championship starts on December 24, 2025 and even before that, there is another three-match ODI series at home against South Africa starting November 30. "Even if they play Vijay Hazare, before that there would already be six ODIs that will be played. In between the Australia ODIs and the South Africa ODIs, there is an India A series against South Africa A where three List A games (50 overs) will be held at Rajkot on November 13, 16 and 19 respectively. "Now, will the duo want to play those three A games, or possibly two, before the South Africa series is the question. Even more important is whether Ajit Agarkar and his colleagues would want that," he said. "Overlapping the Vijay Hazare Trophy (December 24, 2025 - January 18, 2025) will be the three ODIs between India and New Zealand (January 11, 14, 18). So even if they play the Vijay Hazare Trophy, it can't be for more than two to three games," he added.

AIFF Announces $25,000 Reward For U-20 Women's Team After Historic AFC Asian Cup Qualification
The AIFF announced a $25,000 incentive for the Indian U-20 women's team after they qualified for the AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup, topping Group D unbeaten. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Sunday announced a cash incentive of USD 25,000 for the Indian U-20 women's team following their qualification for the AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup for the first time since 2006. The Young Tigresses sealed top spot in Group D with seven points, wrapping up their qualifying campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over hosts Myanmar in Yangon. Midfielder Pooja scored the decisive goal in the 27th minute, initiating a counter-attack before finishing the move herself. Dominant and Unbeaten Campaign India's qualification run was marked by defensive solidity and attacking flair. The team began with a goalless draw against Indonesia, followed by a commanding 7-0 win over Turkmenistan, before edging past Myanmar. Remarkably, they remained unbeaten and did not concede a single goal in the qualifiers. The AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup will be held in Thailand in April 2026, bringing together the continent's best youth teams. The AIFF credited the achievement to 'sustained planning and developmental efforts over the past few years" in partnership with the Sports Authority of India. The U-20 squad has been in camp since December 2024, spending 135 days together in preparation. Their build-up included participation in the Pink Ladies Youth Cup in Turkey, where they beat Hong Kong and Jordan, as well as training stints with the senior national team. They also played two friendlies against Uzbekistan U-20s in Tashkent, drawing 1-1 and winning 4-1. The AIFF also highlighted the role of the ASMITA Women's Football Leagues in boosting grassroots participation, citing a '232% increase" in registered women footballers over the past year. The 2025-26 season has already begun with the U-13 ASMITA Football Leagues, featuring 50 tournaments across 26 states, involving around 8,000 players from 400 teams.

Glenn Maxwell Takes Suryakumar Yadav-Like Catch In 1st AUS-SA T20I, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: The incident took place on the second ball of the last over of the match bowled by Australian fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis in Darwin on Sunday. Star Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was not able to do much with the bat in the first T20I against South Africa on Sunday (August 10), but he made his presence felt in the contest by taking a spectacular catch in the last over of the match, which the Aussies won by 17 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the home series. In a video going viral on the internet, Maxwell can be seen completing a catch which reminded fans of Suryakumar Yadav's catch from the T20 World Cup 2024 final against the same opposition. Here's a look: The incident took place on the second ball of the last over of the match bowled by Ben Dwarshuis. Left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton was on strike. The South African opener tried to play a big shot to add six runs to his team's tally, but Maxwell had other plans. The Punjab Kings star not only prevented the definite six but also completed the catch cleanly to end Rickelton's fighting knock of 71 runs from 55 balls and also cancel South Africa's chances of winning the match. The win over South Africa on Sunday was Australia's ninth win in a row in T20Is. This is the first time in history that Aussies have won nine T20Is in a row. The streak started on November 14, 2024, when, under Josh Inglis' leadership, Australia defeated Pakistan by 29 runs in Brisbane. The Aussies then won two more matches against the Men in Green, and in July 2025, they won five matches in a row against the West Indies. The overall record of most consecutive wins in T20I matches is held by Uganda. The African team, which featured in the 2024 T20 World Cup, has won 17 matches in a row. Spain is in second place with 15 wins, and Japan won 14 matches in a row from May 9, 2024, to May 9, 2025. Among Test-playing nations, India won 12 T20I matches in a row from November 3, 2021, to February 27, 2022. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
