BCCI, how to reject Rohit Sharma's request led to the retirement of the Indian captain?

In front of the British test series against India, Rohit Sharma retired from tests, but what role did the BCCI play in the test captain?
A test retirement that saw many of them came, but still surprised. Yes, all Nation, India and Pakistan (Loc) paste what is going on to the TV and social media channels, and India's test captain MS Dhoni moved. The test quietly announced on May 7, 19:29 on May 7, when Dhoni announced his retirement. But why not why now after the Australian Series or when the UK test series team of India is announced.
The reason for this was not entirely in the hands of Rohit. The BCCI election committee forced him to get this call early. According to a Times of India report, Rohit offered to resign as TETS captain and test it as a player. However, considering the weak form, the selections did not ask for any chaos in the UK tour, as in Australia, together with Ravichandran Ashwin.
“Rohit had offered to quit the test captain. Last week, he had communicated for selectors because they were looking for other options. He wanted to test themselves in the first two tests. However, the selections were not comfortable with this idea,” A BCCI source told TOI on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma's test retirement: 4 months too late
In five innings in the Border-Gavascar Cup, an average of 6.20 and then removed the Rohit Sharma position after removing itself from the post-test. He had to go. Rohit was an average of 11.47 in the last red ball season in 17 Inning. Returning to the uniform during the white ball season, the red ball form cannot find a place for him in the UK team of India.
Either he had to lead India in England – the selections were not comfortable – or had to retire from the tests. Rohit chose the second.
“He was asked to commit the whole round. Selertors and team management did not want to deal with chaos in the middle of the tour, as with Ravichandran Ashwin on the Australian tour. Rohit came to the same page and decided to leave,” He said the source.

New leader for the new WTC cycle
Even when BCCI appointed Rohit Sharma as a test captain in 2022, the process of thought was clear. He would grooming young people to get the captain from the next test cycle. Rohit had to be a stopping interval solution after Virat Kohli gave up. However, when Rohit took India to the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Cup, things changed a little.
The other problem was the inconsistency of the new generation stars. Initially, Jasprit Bumrah, Kl Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill were on the short list to achieve Rohit. Bumrah seemed to be natural successor. However, the workload management of a rapid bowling player of all three formats, especially Bumrah's species, made an impossible choice.
Kl Rahul has not even a permanent place on the test side. That's why he was excluded. This left Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant as two options. Gill will already accomplish Rohit in ODI and Surekumar Yadav in the T20Is. But he has not yet proved his size in the test.


Shubman-rishabh enigmatic
Shubman Sena countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) an average of 25.70. Although it has not yet played a test in New Zealand, it makes bad returns in the other three countries a difficult choice. In a way, he's not ready to test the captain of jumping.
The other option, Rishabh Pant, has no great record as the captain. In addition, not in all three formats and even in IPL 2025. The choice of bad shots encouraged the Great Sunil Gavascar to shout: three times stupid, stupid, stupid during the comment in Australia. These riddles forced selector to delay their calls.
However, now, instead of another stopping gap solution in Virat Kohli, which is out of the form, the BCCI election committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, wants to get a call for the future. And Shubman Gill is still the best option.
“They want a new leader for the UK tour, and Rohit does not fit as a captain, especially when the red ball form is taken into consideration. A BCCI source Indian Express.
