India’s next ODI series is scheduled in Bangladesh in August, followed by a series in Australia between October and November. South Africa and New Zealand will then tour India in December and January. With the 2027 ODI World Cup still a few years away, questions remain about the long-term participation of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the format.

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting believes Rohit Sharma is still motivated to compete. Speaking to ICC.tv, Ponting stated, “Losing the 2023 World Cup final as captain might still be on his mind. He could aim for another shot at winning the T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy, and ODI World Cup. His performance in the Champions Trophy final suggests he still has plenty to offer.

New Zealand’s deep run in the Champions Trophy resulted in key players climbing the rankings. Captain Mitchell Santner rose six places to No. 2 among ODI bowlers, taking nine wickets with an economy rate of 4.80. Santner also ranks fourth in the ODI all-rounders’ list.

Michael Bracewell, who contributed with both bat and ball, is now ranked No. 7 among all-rounders. Rachin Ravindra, the tournament’s highest run-scorer, surged 14 places to No. 14 in the batting rankings and climbed to No. 8 in the all-rounders’ standings.
