I have always been that person who's there to provide advice: Rohit Sharma

Former Indian T20I captain Rohit Sharma, who was announced as the brand ambassador for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, has revealed that he is somebody who always likes to talk with fellow cricketers and try to understand their mindset.

Notably, Rohit was part of the panel discussion, which also involved India T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav and Women's World Cup-winning skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, with ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta at the T20 World Cup 2026 schedule reveal event.

“I keep meeting all these guys (India T20 players); I'm still playing. I'm going to go to Ranchi (for ODIs against South Africa) and meet some of these guys there who are going to be part of the T20 setup,” Rohit Sharma said at the event.

“There's always a conversation that happens between the players, and I am somebody who likes to talk, discuss and get into their mindset a little bit and understand what they are thinking,” he added.

“I have always been that person who's there to provide advice if there is one to be given or hear them out and see if there is a solution to be found for that," said Rohit.

“But again, these guys are having a great run of late. I don't think there's much that needs to be changed. (But) The final prep will be just around when they play New Zealand. That's when they should try and get their playing XI or their (squad of) 15 in mind,” he concluded.

On Tuesday, November 25, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the schedule for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, which is scheduled to start on Saturday, February 7. Notably, India and Sri Lanka will host the campaign simultaneously.
