According to Sky Sports report, the Indian star stimulator Jasprit Bumrah was excluded from the plant. The report also claims that SHUBMAN GILL and RISHABH PANT are now the leading runs of this work after retirement Rohit Sharma.
Rohit announced his test retirement on May 7 with many considering Bumhrah to be another man who took over as captain of India. Pacer captured India three times in tests, one came in England and two of them in Australia during the Border-Gavascar trophy. He led India to the famous victory in the Perth test when Rohit missed the game for the birth of his second child.
According to Sky Sports report, the reason Bumrah has risen from the captain’s race is that he cannot commit to playing all five tests during England due to workload management. Bumrah missed the champions trophy trophy at the beginning of this year after the back injury during the Trophy Border-Gavascar Trophy.
Because Bumrah is a doubt for all five tests, selectors would prefer someone who can consistently perform for the team. This was put by Gill and Pant in a good place in the race, with selectioners expecting next week to discuss the role. It is expected that anyone who is missing the captain will be appointed more captain of the party.
Gill and hinge to lead a new era after Rohit
The earlier message from PTI said that Gill was to be named as a new captain Test parties with pants working as his representative. Gill is already vice president in cricket white ball for India. He was also phenomenal with his captain in IPL 2025 with Gujarat Titans before the tournament was suspended.
