Rohit Sharma on Captaincy in BCCI Review Meeting: Indian cricket team’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma has been in the headlines for some time now. The reason for Rohit being in the news is not his performance, but his poor form, being dropped from the team and the talk of snatching the captaincy. Meanwhile, Rohit has made his stand clear from BCCI regarding captaincy.
In fact, while till some time ago Rohit Sharma was being seen as the best captain, now there is talk of his alternative. The main reason for this is the clean sweep by New Zealand at home and then losing the Test series in Australia. Also, Rohit could not do anything special with the bat. He even had to be dropped from the team.
A meeting of BCCI was held on Saturday. This was a review meeting regarding the poor performance of Team India in Australia. The talks of this meeting have been leaked. According to a report in Dainik Jagran, Rohit Sharma said in the review meeting that he will remain the captain for some time and in the meantime BCCI can search for the next captain. He promised to give full support to BCCI’s choice of the next captain.
Along with captain Rohit Sharma, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir were also present in this review meeting. The report says that Rohit Sharma has told the board that he wants to remain the captain of the team for a few more months. Meanwhile, Rohit has asked BCCI to search for a new captain.
It has also been said in the report that there was a discussion in the meeting about making Jasprit Bumrah the captain after Rohit Sharma, but no consensus has been reached on it yet. The biggest reason for this is Jasprit Bumrah’s repeated injuries.
It is confirmed that Rohit Sharma will lead Team India in the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, it is almost certain that he will not be the captain in the five-match Test series against England. It is also possible that Rohit Sharma may not be selected in the Test series against England.
