When will Rohit and Virat play for India next?: The Indian cricket team's schedule will continue, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be away from international cricket for the next few months.

The series between India and New Zealand will continue. However, the series is now over for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Rohit and Kohli were only playing in the ODI series, so they will now rest. The T20 series will begin soon, but these two players will not be participating. The question now is when Rohit and Kohli will next take the field for an international match. You'll have to wait a while for that.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill will not play in the T20 series against New Zealand-

After the ODI series, India and New Zealand will face each other in a T20 International series. A total of five matches will be played in the series. Rohit and Kohli have not been included in the squad, and even ODI captain Shubman Gill has not found a place in India's T20 team. Suryakumar Yadav will captain the Indian team in the T20 series. After this five-match series, the ICC T20 World Cup will be held in February, and Rohit and Kohli will not be seen playing in that either. The World Cup will conclude in March, and the IPL will begin at the end of the same month. That's when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be seen playing for their respective teams.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play ODI matches against England in July-

Meanwhile, talking about international matches, Team India will tour England in July. A five-match T20 series and a three-match ODI series will be played there. The T20 series will be played first, followed by the ODI series. The five-match T20 series will start on July 1st and end on July 11th. After that, the ODI series will begin on July 14th. This will be the day when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be seen playing international matches on the field.

This series will be very important in terms of preparation for the ODI World Cup-

It can be argued that since the team has not been announced yet, how can we say that Rohit and Kohli will play in this series? So far, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have given no indication of not playing in this series. Both will be aiming to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. Therefore, there is very little chance that either of them will retire from ODIs or miss the series. This series will be very important for both players before the ODI World Cup.

Here is the complete schedule for the India vs England ODI series:

The first match of the ODI series will be played on July 14th, as we have already mentioned. Following that, the second ODI of the series will be played on July 16th. The third and final match of the series will be played on July 19th. There's still some time before the series begins, but the excitement is already building. While Kohli and Rohit are expected to play until 2027, this series will be crucial in determining their future in India's ODI team. Matches will continue to be played in the meantime, but Rohit and Kohli's fans will surely miss them.
