Delhi: A new era is going to begin in Indian cricket, because after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test cricket, now Team India has a challenge to move forward with the new leadership. Indian selectors are looking for a new captain before the five -match Test series starting in June against England.
In such a situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to announce the Test team of Test for this important tour on Saturday, ie 24 May. After Rohit’s retirement, discussions about the selection of the new captain of the team are in full swing, and Shubman Gill is looking at the forefront of this race. Along with him, experienced players like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Jaspreet Bumrah are also involved in the leadership race.
Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has respected Virat and Rohit’s retirement on the occasion and respected their decision. The former opener said that the decision to retire any player is his personal decision and no one has any right over it.
Gambhir told News18, “I think it is a very personal decision when you start the game and when you want to finish. No one has this right. Whether it is a coach, selector, anyone in this country, anyone in this country, someone has the right to tell someone when he has to retire and when not, it comes from inside.”
Gambhir also admitted that the team will definitely feel the absence of two great players, but it is also a great opportunity for the rest of the players to prove themselves. The head coach said, “Sometimes, when experienced players are out of the team, new players have a chance to say that ‘I am ready’, such as some players performed well in the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah in the Champions Trophy, in the same time some players performed well, this time young players will also be revealed.”
