Former Indian captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly dismisses speculations surrounding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s potential last ODI World Cup appearance in the upcoming 2023 edition.
With both senior players entering the later stages of their white-ball careers after the 2023 tournament, there is discussion about the duo’s participation in their final major ICC event. However, Ganguly does not subscribe to this notion.
“I don’t believe too much in last time, first time. I believe in performances. I think they are 34-35, I don’t know what’s going to happen in the next World Cup. There are world tournaments every year – T20 cricket, 50-over cricket,” he told Star Sports.
“It’s not like as in the past when we started – one every four years and then the Champions Trophy came in. So it’s about performances and I am sure Rohit as captain and Virat will be wanting to make it a big one not from a personal point of view but from winning it. I think that’s the biggest,” he added.
