Rohit Sharma Likely To Return As India Test Captain, Major Updates For India’s Tour Of England News24 –

The Indian cricket team awaits an exhilarating English tour, which begins in June 2025. The BCCI has initiated planning for the upcoming changes while making public various essential developments that generate strong interest from fans. According to The Times of India, Rohit Sharma will serve as team captain for a second consecutive time in leading India. The knowledge and leadership abilities of Rohit Sharma will drive India toward success in English conditions. The selection panel has included 35 athletes who can join either the main India team or the India A team. The Indian cricket organization will release the final squad selection after the second week of May.

“Rohit is most likely to travel as the board feels that one needs a strong captain through the series, which is likely to be as tough as the Australia tour. With regard to the middle-order, the team management has shown very little confidence in Sarfaraz Khan’s ability. Nair and Patidar are seasoned red-ball players and are in fine form. It is likely at least one of them will be in the India ‘A’ team. As for Iyer, he was dropped last year based on his poor returns in Test cricket. A final call is yet to be be taken,” a BCCI source said.

Rise of New Talent

The selection has produced several noteworthy choices. The selectors believe in Sai Sudharsan‘s recent play, so they will pick him as the backup opener. Rajat Patidar and Karun Nair stand as leading options to bat at positions five and six for Team India. The team shines brightly because of its success in the India A and domestic tournament leagues. The spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav appears set to make a return to the cricket stage. His variation abilities, alongside his ability to change games, make Kuldeep suitable for turning English pitches.
