“No communication” - MCA official on reports of Rohit Sharma competing in VHT 2025-26 season

According to a report in PTI, the Mumbai Cricket Association official has stated that he hasn’t received any communication from Rohit Sharma on his participation in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 campaign.

Earlier, there have been multiple reports stating that Rohit has decided to take part in the premier domestic one-day tournament to keep himself fit and stay eligible for the national team selection. Also, there is no communication from the Indian veteran batter Virat Kohli as well on his comeback to domestic cricket. 

“There has been no communication as far as I am aware,” the official stated as quoted by the news agency PTI. 

For the unversed, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has allegedly informed the veteran batting duo of Rohit and Kohli that they should participate in domestic tournaments to be eligible for the one-day format.

Rohit went on to bag the top spot in the ICC ODI batting rankings with 781 rating points after an amazing three-match ODI series against Australia Down Under in Adelaide and Sydney, scoring an unbeaten 121 in the third ODI after a 73-run knock in the second match. Moreover, he was adjudged the Player of the Series.

The Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 season will take place across Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Jaipur, and Bengaluru from December 25 to January 18, with the knockout matches scheduled at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

Kohli and Rohit retired from T20Is after the end of the T20 World Cup in June 2024. Later, they bid adieu to the longest format of the game ahead of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England earlier this year.
