While the Shreyas Iyer's omission saga is going on, reports claimed that BCCI is looking forward to making Shreyas Iyer the captain in One Day Internationals after Rohit Sharma's retirement. A report from Dainik Jagran claimed that BCCI is favoring Iyer as the format's captain at least till 2027 ODI World Cup, even though there is no confirmation made from the side. However, this report came as a contradiction of what BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar hinted about grooming Shubman Gill as the all-format captain. Agarkar clearly mentioned Sanju Samson's place, saying he played because Gill wasn't available. The Asia Cup squad has received many backlashes, especially for finding a space for Gill and then nagging not to find one for Shreyas. The selection of Rinku Singha and Shivam Dube over Iyer has been questioned. Several former cricketers like Ravichandran Ashwin and Irfan Pathan, have questioned the setup. Former assistant coach of India, Abhishek Nayar, hinted that either the selectors don't like Iyer's face or they are not planning to keep him in the T20 setup! In such a turmoil, if BCCI has really expressed the urge to make Iyer the ODI captain, it sounds fishy! Read also: Why was Shreyas Iyer not selected in 2025 Asia Cup squad?
