Jasprit Bumrah Shubman Gill a more worthy Test captain than? Sanjay Manjrekar makes a valid point
Jasprit Bumrah has led India in three trials so far, but never as a full -time captain for the team.
After the retirement of Rohit Sharma, who will be the new Test captain of India, has become a hot subject of debate. While several reports have suggested that Shubman Gill will lead the side in England, and Rishabh Pant will be his deputy, some experts feel that there is no really right way to go. Former India batsman and broadcaster feels that Sanjay Manjrekar feels that Pesar is the best bet of the Bumrah team, and should be named the captain.
Jasprit Bumrah should lead India in Tests
While there are concerns around his fitness, and whether he would be able to play all the five matches, Manjrekar was clear that whatever matters Bumrah do, they should be in charge of the team. He confirmed his talk with the Australia Tour case, where Rohit led the side in just three matches – where he was available.
He wrote on X, “If the availability of Bumrah due to injuries is the issue, do we recently have Rohit Captain India in only 3 of the 5 tests in AUS? The availability cannot be all and cannot eliminate everyone, the qualifications are more important. Especially in tests.”
India announced a squad
Meanwhile, the BCCI has already named India as a team for the tour of England, where Abhimanyu Ezavaran will lead this side. Their deputy Dhruv will be Jurael, and the pair is also likely to be in India’s squad. After the completion of Shubman and Sai Sudharsan IPL 2025, the second England Lions will join India during the encounter.
India is a squad for England Tour: अभिमन्यु ईश्वरन, ध्रुव जुरल, यशसवी जायसवाल, करुण नायर, नीतीश कुमार रेड्डी, शारदुल ठाकुर, इशान किशन, मानव सुथार, तनुश कोटियन, मुकेश कुमार, अकश कुमार, अकश गहरी, हर्षित राना, अंसुल कामबज, खलेल अहमद, रुतुदाज, रुतुदाज, रुतुदा, रुतुदुज गक देशपांडे, हर्ष दुबे।
After 1 match: Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan.
