Rohit Sharma’s Test Captaincy Under Scrutiny

Although Rohit Sharma has led India to victory in both series since taking over the Test captaincy, his poor performance has raised doubts about his ability to remain in the role beyond the World Test Championship Final in 2023. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to hold talks after the 2023 World Cup in October.

BCCI Not in a Hurry to Appoint New Test Captain

The BCCI is in no rush to name a new Test captain. India will start a new World Test Championship cycle in the West Indies after the WTC Final, and no changes will be made until the 2023 World Cup. However, if Rohit fails to deliver results, he may be removed from the captaincy due to his age.

Rohit’s Age and Injuries Could Pose Challenges

At 36, Rohit does not have much time left. The World Cup may be his last opportunity to make an impact in ODI cricket. As for Tests, his history of injuries could be a factor.

Conclusion

There is no need to rush in finding a new Test captain. As long as Rohit remains healthy, he will remain in the role. The outcome of the World Test Championship will determine his future, but the BCCI will not make any changes until the 2023 World Cup.
