Rohit Sharma likely to continue leading India in Test for England series: Reports

After a string of humiliating losses to Australia and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma's future as Test captain was in doubt. However, a stunning Champions Trophy victory has eased the selectors' decision, as Rohit is expected to skipper the Test squad in the series against England beginning in June. 

The BCCI and its selectors now support Rohit Sharma, according to Express Sports, and they want him to captain the Indian squad for the five-match Test tour to England. In Test cricket, though, Rohit hasn't had much success as captain. India was unable to keep the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after losing badly at home. After missing the Perth Test, Rohit too had trouble scoring. 

Before choosing to skip the match in Sydney, the 37-year-old only managed 31 runs in the three Test matches. With the support of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and its selection panel, Rohit is expected to travel to England for the five-match Test series after the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, even if India does not advance to the World Test Championship (WTC) final for the first time. 

Rohit Sharma clears rumours of retiring from Test 

Rohit had said clearly that he would not be retiring from Test cricket during the Sydney Test. There were a lot of reports throughout the Indian tour of Australia that there were problems in the dressing room, and the rumours only became worse after Rohit decided not to play in the final Test. But it appears that those conversations may be over now that India has won the Champions Trophy. 

Though he is unsure if he will participate in the ODI World Cup 2027, Rohit put an end to rumours that he was retiring from ODIs following his victory in the Champions Trophy 2025.  Rohit has participated in seven Test matches in England. From 14 innings, he has amassed 524 runs at an average of 40.30. In England, he has a century and two fifties. India's leader in 24 Test matches is Rohit. During his tenure, India has won 12, lost 9, and drawn three times.
