Rohit Sharma to Miss England Tour as Retirement Rumors Heat Up!
A new report suggests that Rohit Sharma may skip India’s England tour, fueling speculation about his future. While a PTI report claimed he would lead the side, another source indicates he is undecided. With India’s 45-day tour starting on June 20 at Headingley, fans are left wondering: injury, form, or retirement?
For the upcoming England tour, uncertainty looms over Rohit Sharma’s participation, fueling speculation about his future in Test cricket. According to a report from India Today, Rohit is yet to decide whether he will travel to England, contradicting an earlier PTI report that confirmed his leadership for the series. With India’s tour set to begin on June 20 at Headingley, the debate over Rohit’s availability raises questions about the team’s captaincy, especially since Jasprit Bumrah is not yet fully fit.
Retirement rumors first surfaced after Rohit opted out of the Sydney Test, but he dismissed such claims, stating he was not leaving cricket but stepping back due to his inconsistent batting form. Despite concerns about his Test performance in Australia, his ongoing participation in IPL 2025 for Mumbai Indians suggests that injury is not the reason for his potential absence.
India has not won a Test series in England since 2007, making Rohit’s decision crucial for the team’s prospects. If he withdraws, it could mark a significant transition for Indian Test cricket, with new leadership likely to take charge. With a few months remaining before the tour, fans await an official confirmation regarding Rohit’s status.
