"See the consensus is there that now is the time to change. All of us feel Rohit Sharam, first of all, still has a lot to offer, but at the same time, he has too much on his plate. And mind it, he is not getting any younger.

"For the T20 World CUP 2024, we need to prepare now. Hardik is the right fit for the role. Selectors will meet and officially announce Hardik as India's Captain before the next T20 assignment", confirmed a top source in the BCCI.

"No, not yet. They have just returned. We will soon call the coach, Captain for the meeting and have a word", confirmed the BCCI official.

Meanwhile, Ravi Shastri, interim coach VVS Laxman has backed Pandya for the captaincy role. The former India coach has argued that there is no harm in identifying a new captain for T20s after India's embarrassing exit from T20 WC.

Hardik Pandya has the backing, with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant falling out of favour as future T20s captains.
