Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s Test Retirement will please Stokes and McCullum, Monty Panesar says

In India’s 18-Man Squad, 11 players have not played a Test match in England.
India will feel the absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Test cricket. Nobody has doubt. Star batsmen announced that they were hanging their shoes, with more than a month before England’s 5 -match tour. Except Ravindra Jadeja, a all -round, Rohit and Kohli were India’s most experienced batsman.
And with him, it will not be easy for India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill. Ben Stokes talked about the disappearance with Kohli, but from the England captain’s point of view, he would not be unhappy that neither Kohli nor Rohit would be causing any trouble to him.
Recently, Monty Panesar specifically spoke to Insidesport, where he shared his feelings about the retirement of two modern great people from Test cricket and how would it help England.
For the first time in more than a decade, England will be without James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Lions will also recall the services of Mark Wood and Oli Stone. Jofra Archer is also doubted. Keeping all this in mind, England will be happy that neither Kohli nor Rohit are Rohit to take advantage of these holes.
“I think the England bowlers will be very happy that he is not bowling against Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. It is a little surprising that two of them retired at the same time; it leaves a large -scale hole in the Indian lineup. As an English bowler, he will be very happy for a young Indian batsman. Situations in England,” Panesar told Insidesport,
Rohit had an all -time tour in 2021/22, while Kohli caught fire in 2018. Without him, India’s batting looks the weakest in the years. And it will help the English bowlers, who are themselves inexperienced. It gives England an opportunity to beat India and make its streak at home against men in blue.
“As an English bowler, I will still be a little nervous to know that there is Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma in the team. For Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, I think they will be very happy to know that it is a young India team and they are going in the series,” He said.
