India need new Test skipper
Liverpool Echo
|May 08, 2025
CRICKET India will need to appoint a new Test captain ahead of this summer's blockbuster five-match series against England after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the format.
-
Rohit bows out with 4,301 runs in 67 Tests at a respectable average of 40.57, having seen his place in the side come under increasing scrutiny after amassing just one fifty in his last 15 innings.
In that period, India's 12-year unbeaten run on home soil was ended after a 3-0 whitewash defeat by New Zealand, while they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia for the first time in a decade.
