India captain Rohit Sharma on May 7 announced his retirement from Test cricket ahead of the team's tour of England starting in June, but will continue to play the shorter 50-over format.

Bumrah, Gill in the running to lead India

NEW DELHI -

In 67 Tests, he scored 4,301 runs, including 12 centuries, with a best of 212 against South Africa in 2019 and an average of over 40. He captained India in 24 Tests with 12 wins, nine defeats and three draws.

"Hello everyone I would just like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket. It's been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in the ODI format," the 38-year-old wrote on Instagram.

Sharma, who quit T20 internationals along with Virat Kohli after India's World Cup triumph in Barbados in 2024, recently led the team to an ODI Champions Trophy title in Dubai. He is currently playing the Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 tournament with Mumbai Indians and has endured a patchy season so far, scoring 300 runs in 11 matches.
