Jaspreet Bumrah, Virat Kohli
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have now announced retirement from Test cricket. After this, now the biggest question is who will become the new Test captain of the Indian team. Meanwhile, three names were leading in the race, but now it is learned that a player has pulled back from it, so now the competition is between two players. Soon the BCCI will have to announce this by taking a decision, because the England series is not far away.
Jasprit Bumrah himself refused to become captain
Team India is going to visit England in June. The team is to be announced soon for this. Now the matter is not only the team, the question is also who will be the captain. Till now three names were being taken, but now one name has reduced from it. According to a report by Sky Sports, it has been found that Jaspreet Bumrah has refused to become the next Test captain. Now there are two players left in the race to become a new captain. These include the names of Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant.
Bumrah will not play all the matches against England
Actually, it is learned that Jasprit Bumrah will not be able to play all the five Tests against England. It is expected that he will play only two to three Tests. The BCCI does not want such a player to play the whole series if such a player is made a new captain. Jasprit Bumrah is a fast bowler and it will not be easy for him to play five Test matches at intervals of a few days. When Team India visited Australia, Jasprit Bumrah played five consecutive Tests and Bumrah was engaged in the last match. After this, he had to sit out for a long time. Now the BCCI is not in the mood to take such a script.
One captain and the other will be made vice -captain
Now if we talk about Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, then it is learned that two names are going on at the moment, but Shubman Gill is ahead in them, but if Rishabh Pant’s name is also stamped, then there will be no surprise. It is believed that the BCCI is thinking about giving great responsibility to these two players. One player will become captain and the other will become vice -captain. That is, if Gill becomes the captain, Pant will be given vice -captain, while if Pant becomes the captain, Gill will get the captain. Although now the BCCI will have to take a decision soon, the days are rarely left.
