In Test series vs England Rohit Sharma has got the backing of BCCI & Its selection panel to lead Team India
Rohit Sharma has received the backing of the BCCI and its selection panel to lead Team India in the five-Test series against England, scheduled from June to August 2025. This decision comes shortly after India’s victory in the ICC Champions Trophy, where Rohit played a pivotal role as captain. Despite earlier speculation about his future in red-ball cricket following a challenging Test season and a brief absence during the Sydney Test, the selectors have reaffirmed their confidence in his leadership.
Rohit’s tactical acumen and ability to manage high-pressure situations have been key factors in this decision. His recent successes, including guiding India to their second T20 World Cup title and the Champions Trophy win, have solidified his position as a dependable leader. Sources indicate that stakeholders unanimously view him as the best candidate to lead the team for this crucial tour.
Rohit himself has expressed his eagerness to continue playing Test cricket, quashing retirement rumors. With several young batting options available, such as Shubman Gill and YashasviJaiswal, the selectors have prioritized Rohit’s experience and strategic insights for maintaining stability in leadership during this important phase of Indian cricket.
