Meanwhile, a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity that yes, the question remains as to what will happen when Hardik comes back, but BCCI feels that if Rohit agrees to lead in T20Is, He will lead in the T20 World Cup. If Rohit does not agree then Surya will remain the captain for the T20Is in South Africa.
