Report says, Rohit Sharma Makes Captaincy Promise To BCCI In Meeting, Says He Will Quit After…

India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma recently held a review meeting with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and chief selector AjitAgarkar to discuss the team’s recent performances, including the disappointing 1-3 series defeat to Australia and the 0-3 home sweep against New Zealand. During the meeting, Rohit expressed his desire to continue as captain for a few more months, while also urging the BCCI to search for a long-term successor.

The discussion includeincludeed the potential of JaspritBumrah as Rohit’s successor, although concerns were raised about his fitness and leadership capabilities, particularly following his back injury during the final Test in Sydney. Rohit has faced scrutiny over his form, having benched himself for that match, and questions about his long-term future as captain have intensified.

Rohit aims to lead India in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy and the subsequent Test series against England. However, with selectors considering a transition in leadership, it remains uncertain whether he will retain his role for the England series. The BCCI is expected to make decisions regarding India’s captaincy during this critical phase as they prepare for significant international competitions ahead.
