Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been rewarded with an extension in his Test captaincy after leading India to victory in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy.
According to Indian media, Rohit will continue as captain for the upcoming Test series against England. His leadership in the Champions Trophy was highly praised, as India remained unbeaten throughout the tournament. Following this success, selectors have expressed renewed confidence in him, highlighting his ability to manage games and make crucial decisions under pressure.
Rohit Sharma will lead team against England
Reports suggest that Rohit has received a vote of confidence for India’s tour of England, which will take place from June to August. Not only has he been confirmed as captain, but he has also been assured that his leadership is secure for the series.
Stakeholders of the Champions Trophy and cricket experts believe Rohit remains the best choice for leading India in Test cricket. His strategic approach and experience make him a reliable figure in the squad.
However, his position as captain was under question after India’s defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit’s individual performance in that series was disappointing, scoring just 31 runs in three Tests. He was even dropped for the final match, raising doubts about his leadership future.
Despite these concerns, his Champions Trophy success has reinforced the selectors’ trust in him, ensuring that he will continue to lead the Test side against England.
