As talk increases regarding Rohit Sharma's potential participation in the 2027 World Cup, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden emphasised that the decision ultimately hinges on the Indian batter's remaining hunger, energy, and enthusiasm for the demands of the game.

With Rohit having already stepped away from both Test and T20 international formats, Hayden noted that the former Indian captain alone can determine his timeline, given the high physical and mental commitments required for both the Indian Premier League (IPL) and international fixtures.
