Rohit Sharma contradicts reports over T20 World Cup selection meeting, says officials yet to meet 

Rohit Sharma has refuted all the claims that he has had a special meeting with Ajit Agarkar, the team's selection committee chairman and Rahul Dravid, the head coach of Team India, for the team selection of the T20 World Cup 2024. When rumours circulated that he and Virat Kohli would begin the batting, Rohit shrugged them off. He went on to say that Rahul Dravid was training his sons on a red soil pitch in Mumbai, and Ajit Agarkar had been keeping himself busy by playing golf in Dubai.

"I haven't met anyone. Ajit Agarkar is somewhere in Dubai, playing Golf. Rahul Dravid is watching his kid play in Bengaluru. He was in Mumbai, actually. He was. He got him to play on a red soil wicket here at CCI [Cricket Club of India]. That's about it. 

"We haven't met, to be honest. In today's day and age, unless you hear it from either myself, Rahul himself, Ajit himself, or someone from the BCCI coming and talking in front of the camera, everything is fake," Rohit Sharma told Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan in the latest episode of Club Praire Fire Podcast.

It remains to be seen what will happen in the selection process for the Men in Blue's T20 World Cup squad, since that all the reports have been rejected.
