Shubman Gill Makes Big Claim On Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli's Retirements: "Know How To..."

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had "very contrasting styles" of leadership but the two iconic players along with spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have given the Indian team the "blueprint to win" Test series away from home, says new skipper Shubman Gill, who was on Saturday appointed India's captain in Tests. The first assignment for the 25-year-old is a five-Test series England where he won't have stalwarts like Kohli and Rohit in the line-up. "(The) guys like Rohit bhai, Virat bhai and Ashwin bhai… they have given us a blueprint on how to tour away from home and win matches and series," Gill said in a video released by the BCCI on Sunday.

Sanjay Manjrekar Rubbishes BCCI's Logic For Not Making Jasprit Bumrah Captain: "Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma..."

Shubman Gill being appointed as India's Test captain meant that pacer Jasprit Bumrah missed out. Bumrah - the No. 1 ranked Test bowler in the world as per the ICC rankings - was not considered due to his injury-prone nature and concerns over fitness and workload. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed that Bumrah is likely to play no more than three Tests in the upcoming five-match series against England in June. However, despite these reasons, former India cricketer and renowned expert Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his disappointment at Bumrah not being considered for captaincy.

"Strange Team Selection": Ex-India Star's Blunt Verdict On Shubman Gill-Led 18-Member Squad For England Test Series

Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar on Saturday described India's 18-strong Test squad for the tour of England as "strange" but asked for a patient approach towards newly-appointed Test captain Shubman Gill. India will play five Tests against England starting June 20, and batting star Gill has been handed the responsibility to steer the team during a "massive transition" phase following the retirement of top stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. "Strange team selection overall. But India go to England with nothing to lose. It's a team in transition so we can only wish it the very best & yes, be patient when it comes to returns on investment.#indianteam," Manjrekar, a former batter, wrote on his 'X' handle without explaining the reasons for his observation.

Did BCCI Try To Stop Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli From Retiring? Ajit Agarkar Says, "New WTC Cycle..."

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar on Saturday conceded that the void left by the Test retirement of premier cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is tough to fill, but hoped that other players will step up during the upcoming tour of England. Rohit was the first to announce retirement from Test cricket on May 7, while his long-time teammate Kohli followed suit on May 12. "When guys like that retire, they are stalwarts of cricket...it is always difficult, (their) shoes are very big to fill. But one way of looking at it is, that it's an opportunity for others," Agarkar told the media after announcing India's 18-member squad for the five-Test series starting June 20.

Gautam Gambhir Big Admission Ahead Of New Captain Announcement: "Easier To Work..."

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir would prefer to have one captain for all three formats, but admits such a scenario is not possible in modern day cricket. Following Rohit Sharma's Test retirment, the BCCI is likely to announce a new captain for the format on Saturday ahead of a five-match series against England, starting June 20. Suryakumar Yadav is currently India's captain in T20Is, while Rohit will continue to lead in the 50-over format. With Rohit and Virat Kohli retired from Test and T20Is, Gambhir is likely to have more power in selections calls, and there is a high chance that India will have three different captains for each format.
