In a significant announcement, Jay Shah, Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has officially declared Rohit Sharma as India’s captain for the forthcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in the USA and West Indies.

However, he expressed unwavering confidence in Rohit Sharma’s leadership, believing that India will secure the coveted ICC trophy under his captaincy later this year.
