New Delhi, March 27, 2025.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma is set to lead the side in the upcoming five-match Test series against England, ending speculation over the Hitman’s future as captain.
Even though Rohit had a poor outing against Australia, which ended in Rohit benching himself for the last Test in Sydney, he will lead the Indian team for the five-match series starting from 20 June.
The first Test will be hosted at Headingley, and despite speculation over Rohit’s future as captain, the opener will continue to don the captaincy hat. As per PTI, Rohit remains BCCI’s best bet to lead the Indian team for their first assignment in the 2025/27 World Test Championship cycle.
India A will play two tour games starting May 30, with a few senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli likely to be part of the assignment.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in their statement confirmed that the first four-day match will be hosted at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence in Canterbury from May 30. The second match is scheduled to begin a week later on June 6 at the County Ground in Northampton
