India’s veteran batter Rohit Sharma is set to continue as the Test captain despite speculations about his removal following the team’s loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
Reports confirmed the selectors have reaffirmed their trust in Sharma’s leadership, extending his tenure ahead of India’s crucial five-match Test series against England.
The veteran opener had a forgettable Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign, scoring just 31 runs in three Tests before being dropped for the final match.
However, the selectors have decided to back him, believing he remains the best candidate for the role after his side’s unbeaten run and triumph in the recently concluded ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Reports suggested Rohit Sharma has received a strong vote of confidence from key stakeholders, who trust his ability as Test captain.
Consequently, Sharma is likely to lead India in the upcoming five-match Test series against England, scheduled from June to August later this year.
As per the itinerary, India’s Test tour of England will begin with the series opener in Leeds from June 20-24, while the final match is set to take place at The Oval from July 31-August 5.
