India captain Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket


India captain Rohit Sharma has retired from Test cricket but will continue to play one-day internationals.

It comes after reports in the Indian media on Wednesday dated 07th May 2025 that the 38-year-old would be removed as captain for the Test series in England this summer.

"It has been an absolute honor to represent my country in whites," Rohit posted on Instagram, alongside a picture of his Test cap.

"Thank you for all of the love and support over the years."

Rohit will continue to play ODIs and remains captain in that format, having won the Champions Trophy in March. He retired from T20 internationals after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Rohit has played 67 Tests and has been India's captain since replacing Virat Kohli in 2022.
