According to a report on the Indian Express, the decision -making (BCCI) decision -making (BCCI) for cricket in India did not want to repeat those mistakes on the tour of England. Therefore, stability in the team was paramount. Rohit struggled in the Seema-Gavaskar Trophy, average of just 6.20 in five innings. His performance was such that he decided to leave himself for a final test in Sydney.

The move also triggered retirement conversation, but Rohit made it clear that he intends to continue the red-gent format. Even he returned to the Ranji Trophy, hoping the selectors to prove that he was serious about his test career. But all this changed on Wednesday.

“The idea process of the selectors is clear. They want a new leader for the tour of England, and Rohit does not fit as a captain, especially considering as his red ball. They want to prepare a young leader for the next test cycle, and the selection committee has informed the BCCI that Rohit would not lead the team,” was cited as a source in the Indian board.

It has been reported that the selectors were hesitant to make Rohit a captain for the tour of England and wanted to choose him as a pure batsman. Such a situation will allow the management to play Rohit from XI in case of poor form. The education was taken from a tour of Australia, where Rohit could not be left as captain.

In an interview with former Australian captain Michael Clarke in his podcast ‘Beyond 23’, Rohit expressed his excitement in leading the Indian team with the bowling attack of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammad Sirj in England. In the last 4-5 months, Rohit expressed his desire to re-achieve his appearance and contribute to the batting team of India along with his leadership. But communication from the BCCI and the Selection Committee was sufficient for them to retire from the format.
