The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced India’s Test squad for the forthcoming tour to England, with Shubman Gill named as the new captain for the five-match series starting June 20. Gill takes over from Rohit Sharma, who announced his Test retirement after the national selectors opted to overlook him for the tour after his poor Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 tour to Australia. Enduring a horror patch with the bat, Rohit opted out of the New Year’s Test, with Jasprit Bumrah taking over the reins.

When asked about his lack of runs over the last several months and the return to his favourite format, the Indian captain lost his composure. “What kind of a question is that? This is a different format, a different time. As usual, as cricketers, we know there will be ups and downs and I have faced a lot in my career, so this is nothing new to me.

After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit has yet another opportunity to bring an ICC title to India.  First up will be the three ODIs against England starting from February 6 in Nagpur. Rohit will have a major record in his sights when he takes on England and plays the Champions Trophy. The Indian skipper will be looking to put behind the ghosts of the horrific Australia tour in the Border-Gavaskar series. Rohit is only 134 runs away from reaching to 11000 runs in ODIs and if he gets there within the next 19 innings, the 37-year-old will become the second-fastest man to reach to 11000 runs in the 50-over format. He will eclipse the feat of Sachin Tendulkar and will be behind only Virat Kohli in the list of quickest players to get there.  Rohit currently has 10866 in 257 …
