Rohit Sharma to continue as India’s Test captain after Champions Trophy win

Opening batter Rohit Sharma will continue as India's Test captain after leading the team to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.  

According to Indian media reports, selectors have shown confidence in Sharma’s leadership and confirmed that he will captain India in the upcoming five-match Test series against England, which will take place from June to August.  

Sharma has been praised for his captaincy, especially after guiding the team to success in the Champions Trophy. Experts have highlighted the management’s ability to handle match situations well under his leadership.  

Despite concerns over his form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he scored only 31 runs in three Tests and was dropped for the final match, selectors have decided to back him. Reports suggest that key stakeholders still see him as the best option for leading the Test side.  

India recently won the Champions Trophy by defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the final on March 9 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This was India's third title in the tournament, having previously won in 2002 and 2013.  

India’s Test series against England will begin on June 20 in Leeds, with the final match scheduled at The Oval from July 31 to August 5.
