Rohit Sharma Confirmed as India’s Test Captain for England Tour

BCCI prepares for England series with India A matches, while Jasprit Bumrah's fitness remains uncertain.

India will begin their five-match Test series against England on June 20, 2025, marking the start of the 2025/27 World Test Championship cycle.
Rohit Sharma will retain his position as Test captain despite recent struggles in red-ball cricket, including a poor run of form in Australia.
India A will play two four-day matches against the England Lions in late May and early June to help key players acclimatize to English conditions.
Senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are expected to participate in the India A games to regain form ahead of the Test series.
Jasprit Bumrah’s recovery from a back injury remains a concern, with his fitness being closely monitored ahead of the England tour.
