NEW DELHI — Anticipation is mounting within the cricketing fraternity as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), under the guidance of newly appointed Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, prepares to name India’s next Test captain following Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the format.
According to a report by India Today, the official announcement regarding the new Test skipper—along with the squad for the upcoming tour of England—is likely to be made on May 24. Sources suggest that the decision will be finalized during the selection committee meeting scheduled for Saturday, with a press conference expected around 12 PM IST.
With stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli having recently bid farewell to red-ball cricket after opting out of the remainder of the 2023–25 World Test Championship cycle, the leadership void has sparked widespread discussion and speculation. The new appointment will mark a crucial turning point in Indian Test cricket as the team looks to rebuild and refocus under a fresh leadership regime.
As fans await the BCCI’s decision, all eyes are on who will be entrusted with the responsibility of leading Team India in whites during what is expected to be a defining tour of England.
