Rohit Sharma Not Guaranteed Captaincy In England Tests, Report Says Gautam Gambhir Would Want…

While the Premier League Indian (IPL) is approaching its decisive phase, discussions on the resumption of international cricket began, with the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI) considering leadership options for the Tower of England in June. While Rohit Sharma expressed his desire to remain an India test captain, a report revealed that no guarantee on his role has been given by management. In fact, many see the 5 -game test series as an opportunity to start the transition period in the longest format.

Despite a bad tour in Australia, where the rumors of Rohit contemplating retirement were also afloat, the skipper decided not to announce a change. Many believe that the series of tests against England could be the last of Rohit. But, the 38 -year -old man does not yet seem to have finalized his plans.

According to a report in the India timeThe BCCI could give Shubman Gill the role of vice-captain in England, after having already made him the deputy in the T20is and the Odi. A senior Indian cricket player, however, also expressed his desire to play the role of short -term captain, but the board of directors, selectors and coaches only want to explore a long -term solution.

The newspaper says that even head coach Gautam Gambir would like a long-term solution to the problem. The rotation options simply do not interest him.

“A new WTC cycle begins. The future and continuity must be kept in mind with regard to the team. Even the coach Gautam Gambir would like a set of players with whom he is likely to work for a prolonged period. There cannot be any stop solutions for such a important series. The last two series of tests have not been ideal for the team and the England series is very crucial,” said.

With Gill, however, the problem of his inconsistency with the bat also remains. Although he took place n ° 3 in the Indian test team, canceled by Chetehwar Pujara, his exploits with the bat were far from convincing.

On the 1893 tests that Gill marked during his career, only 649 came from home. The tour in England should therefore be quite difficult for the striker of India, not only from his own stick point of view, but also from the point of view of a candidate for management.
