Former India captain Kapil Dev says there is no “certainty” about the ODI World Cup participation of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Speaking on the topic, Kapil notes that decisions about the availability and use of experienced team members rest with the selectors and team management. He sets the view that such judgment should be based on the team’s requirements and the broader planning process rather than any guaranteed outcome for specific players. Kapil’s comments indicate that selection and match participation in the ODI format are contingent on factors evaluated by the management, rather than being pre-determined. Both reports attribute the same core message to Kapil: he does not confirm that Rohit and Kohli will definitely play in the ODI World Cup, and he emphasizes that the final call lies with those responsible for team selection. The statements reflect uncertainty around the players’ immediate ODI future as the World Cup approaches.
