Rohit Sharma will be the captain of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Test series against England, even after his rough time in Australia, according to a PTI report. The article states that despite his struggles and losses in the last two Test series against New Zealand and Australia, he’s still expected to lead the team. Rohit didn’t perform well in Australia, scoring only 31 runs in three matches, and even chose to sit out the last Test in Sydney. But it seems the selectors will keep him as captain following India’s victory in the Champions Trophy 2025.
The BCCI selection committee is expected to give some hints about the England squad during the last week of IPL 2025. A source mentioned that there’s plenty of time to release the squad, likely right before or after the knockout matches.
Also, some key players from India might be part of the ‘A’ team, which will play against the Lions in two four-day matches in May and June to get ready for the Test series against England.
India’s tour will kick off with the first Test at Headingley on June 20, aiming to win their first series in England since 2007. The first four-day match will take place at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence in Canterbury starting May 30, and the second match is set for June 6 at the County Ground in Northampton, as mentioned by the England and Wales Cricket Board. Right now, all the main Indian players are busy with their IPL teams, with the league’s knockout stage scheduled for May 20, 21, and 23, leading up to the final on May 2
