Rohit Sharma will direct the Indian Cricket team in the next series of tests against England despite its poor spectacle in Australia, according to a PTI report. “Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the Senior Team of India in England despite its modest outings and two defeats of series of tests against New Zealand and Australia,” said the report. Rohit had a horrible release in Australia where he scored only 31 points in 3 games and even decided to drop for the final test meeting in Sydney. However, the selectors should not withdraw it from the captain after the triumph of the India Champions Trophy 2025.
The report also said that the BCCI selection committee would lower a major index concerning the England series team during the last week of IPL 2025.
“There is enough time to announce the team, mainly before the KO or just after these matches. You will then get a clear image as for the players available by then,” said a source close to development in PTI under the cover of anonymity.
Meanwhile, some of India’s front-line players will likely be part of the team “A” which will face the Lions in two four-day games during the May-June window in preparation for the five-game test series against England.
India will start his 45 -day trip to England with the first test in Headingley on June 20, while they will try to win the first series outside at the old Blighty since 2007.
“The first four -day match will be organized at the Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence in Canterbury from May 30. The second match should start a week later on June 6 at County Ground in Northampton,” said Board England and Wales (ECB) in a statement.
All eminent Indian cricket players are contracted with their respective IPL franchises at the moment while the League Knockouts will be played on May 20, 21 23 before the May 25 final.
