Team India will visit England in June, where a 5 -match Test series will be played between the two teams. Prior to this tour, Rohit Sharma has given up the Test captaincy of Team India. Rohit Sharma shared this information with his fans by sharing a post on social media yesterday.
Now the biggest question is who will become the captain of the Test team after Rohit Sharma, in which Jasprit Bumrah’s name is at the forefront, on the other hand, KL Rahul’s name is also in discussion. But both of them are considered difficult to become captain on England tour.
This player will become the captain of Team India!
According to media reports, the selectors led by Ajit Agarkar are looking at the captain of Shubman Gill for the tour of England. But no announcement has been made about this yet and the selectors will talk to the BCCI about Gill before the announcement.
Bumrah will not be able to play the entire series.
Team India’s star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah is unlikely to play all 5 matches of the series on England tour. Bumrah will not be able to play the entire series due to the charge management. In this situation it is not possible to make him a captain, but Bumrah can remain vice -captains.
Bumrah was injured during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after which he also had to stay out of the Champions Trophy. Bumrah could not play even in the first few matches of the IPL, so BCCI would not want to take any risk about Bumrah’s fitness.
Last Test played in Melbourne
In January this year, Rohit Sharma played his last Test match in Melbourne in December 2024. The Indian team has to play a five -Test series in England in June this year and Rohit was already told that he would not be selected in the team. After this, it was believed that Rohit would announce his retirement on the 14th or 15th, but he announced it on social media on Wednesday.
