Australia plans send-off for Rohit, Kohli

Todd Greenberg, the Cricket Australia (CA) CEO, said he hopes to give a memorable send-off to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should the duo play in Australia one last time later this year. With Rohit and Kohli retiring from Tests and T20Is in the last 12 months, it means they will now be playing only ODIs for India. 

India are slated to tour Australia for three ODIs from October 19-25 and is followed by five T20Is. In an Australian home summer headlined by the five-match Ashes, the Indian interest looms large with the women’s team also slated to tour the country for a multi-format series after WPL 2026 is over. 

“If you think about the quality of the players that will be coming, particularly from India, this might be the last time that we get to see Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma play in our country. If that is the case, but who knows, it might not be. But if it is, we want to make sure we give them a great send-off, which is a reflection of the incredible contribution they’ve made to international cricket,” said Greenberg, who previously served as the chief of the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA).
