According to a report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI, has told Rohit Sharma that he will not be part of their Test cricket plans after the end of the ongoing series against Australia.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly told Rohit Sharma that he is not in their plans for Test cricket after the ongoing series against Australia, as per a report by the Indian Express.
India has a tough road ahead when it comes to qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final, and the report claims that if India manages to reach the summit clash, they will be captained by Jasprit Bumrah.
The report further argued that the BCCI selectors will meet with Virat Kohli to discuss his future in Test cricket. However, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is still believed to be in the scheme of things for the future because BCCI appreciates his presence during this transition period.
With speculations suggesting that Rohit Sharma has played his last Test match for the Indian national team, and the skipper having ‘opted to rest’ in the fifth and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant labelled the move as an ’emotional decision’.
It was an emotional decision because he’s been the captain for a long time. We see him as the leader of the team. There are some decisions you are not involved with; it was a call by the management, and I was not a part of that conversation, so I can’t explain further,” said Pant at the end of the press conference.
