‘You can’t play forever’: Hayden’s blunt message on Rohit Sharma’s future
Matthew Hayden pointed out that Rohit Sharma is the architect of his own cricket destiny. As a veteran, Rohit must consider his desire and endurance for the rigorous schedules, especially following his retirement from the Test and T20I formats. His recent performance against England showcases his enduring talent, and the spotlight will only intensify as the 2027 World Cup in Africa looms ahead.
Rohit Sharma’s international cricket future remains uncertain, but former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden believes the decision falls squarely on the veteran’s shoulders. Now retired from Test and T20 cricket, Rohit continues to play ODIs for India. Hayden stated to ANI that age alone should not dictate a player's international career, and stressed that only the player can determine when it's time to stop. He pointed out that this question has been posed to players like Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir before Rohit.
