Rohit, Kohli Opt for Vijay Hazare Trophy, Not Forced: BCCI

• BCCI official confirms Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli voluntarily opted to play in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy.
• Their participation aligns with BCCI's 2025 diktat prioritizing domestic cricket for national selection.
• Shubman Gill is set to return as vice-captain for the T20I series against South Africa, subject to fitness.
